Long Island, NY-- Being charged with criminal activity in New York can have severe consequences. Few people are more aware of this better than Long Island criminal lawyer Jason Bassett. The impacts of being convicted of a crime could be severe and can sometimes even change the trajectory of an individual's whole life. Mr. Bassett believes that nobody must deal with the criminal justice system on their own and without the benefit of a competent and experienced criminal defense lawyer.
As an experienced criminal lawyer, Mr. Bassett knows that the quality of defense that a person gets if they are charged with a crime can make a significant difference. Whether the charges get dismissed, downgraded, a plea deal is offered to the defendant, or if they end up in prison or jail and for how long, can frequently depend on the work of their defense lawyer. Whether an individual has been charged with break-in, assault, homicide, domestic violence, and even a DWI or DUI, a criminal charge and conviction can haunt them for years to come. This is why it is vital to have the representation of someone with the knowledge, experience, and determination to fight for the offender's rights.
"Although criminal penalties and prison time are tough enough, the way criminal convictions and charges affect the rest of that defendant's life can be similarly disastrous," said Mr. Bassett. "An accused can be penalized and serve their time, and yet for the rest of their life, there is a reminder that they are still considered a criminal in the eyes of society. A criminal charge can affect an individual's future work, academic opportunities, professional licenses and certifications, and participation in particular federal government programs. Each time that person obtains a job, the prospective company will look at them differently. A well-crafted criminal defense is vital to secure my customers not only from the criminal punishment itself but also these other long-term collateral repercussions."
As a former prosecutor, Mr. Bassett has observed the other side of the criminal justice system and the way many defendants feel they are without power within the system. He has turned his sights to criminal defense so as to level the playing field and protect the rights of those who may have been charged at both the federal or state level. Both clients and other attorneys continue to provide favorable reviews and testimonials when it comes to their work together.
Chad Moncada from Long Island states: "Jason was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to all my questions. I was not in the dark about anything. I would strongly suggest using him if your in need. I had aggravated dui and he got it dropped down. I am very thankful for his help. Please reach out to him if you need help and want someone to treat you fair and not dodge your phone calls and questions. Highly recommended."
