Suffolk County Criminal Defense Process
Going through a criminal trial can be an intimidating and distressing experience, and it's natural to worry about the outcome. New York has stringent laws regarding crime, so understanding the criminal justice process is crucial.
Your criminal defense attorney plays a pivotal role at every step of the trial. If you're arrested in New York or believe you might be under investigation, consulting with a skilled lawyer is essential. Here's a streamlined overview of the key stages in a criminal case:
Search - Before an arrest, the police usually conduct an investigation. They need probable cause to believe a crime has been committed before they can legally search or arrest someone. During their investigation, police might interview you or others.
Arrest - In New York, there are four levels of Debour, established to protect individual rights during police interactions:
- Level One: Request for Information - No suspicion needed; voluntary.
- Level Two: Common-Law Inquiry - Based on "founded suspicion"; can ask for ID.
- Level Three: Stop and Frisk - "Reasonable suspicion" permits detainment and frisk.
- Level Four: Arrest - "Probable cause" is necessary for custody.
Police must adhere to these levels to ensure actions are legally justified, balancing public safety with civil liberties, preventing arbitrary searches, and ensuring due process.
Even if the police believe they have sufficient reason to arrest you, the full burden of proof for a conviction lies ahead. Being arrested can be a daunting experience. Police might attempt to elicit admissions of guilt shortly after an arrest. If arrested, your immediate response should be, "I want my lawyer."
Arraignment - Post-arrest, you'll be brought before a judge. Here, you'll enter a plea (usually "not guilty") and can request a trial by jury. Bail or release conditions will be determined.Ā
Discovery - During this phase, the prosecution shares evidence they intend to use against you. Your defense attorney will simultaneously build your case, scrutinize the prosecution's evidence, and gather information to challenge their case.
Pre-Trial Motions - Your attorney may file motions to suppress evidence, statements, or to dismiss the charges based on various legal grounds. Judges review these motions in hearings, potentially altering the course of the prosecution's case. Successful motions might lead to charges being dropped, avoiding a trial.
Plea Bargaining - Trials are inherently risky for defendants. Your lawyer will advise you on the risks and potential outcomes, including whether accepting a plea deal might be in your best interest. Plea bargaining can result in reduced charges or alternative sentencing to avoid a trial.
Trial - If your case proceeds to trial, the prosecution presents their evidence and witnesses first. Your defense attorney will cross-examine these witnesses and can present your defense, including witnesses or evidence. The prosecution must prove each element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. If they fail, you should be acquitted.
Appeal - If convicted, you have the right to appeal the decision. An appeal isn't a new trial but rather a review of the trial's legal proceedings for errors. Appeals must be filed quickly, consult an experiencied appellate lawyer to discuss the unique facts and analysis of your case.
It's vitally important to consult with an experienced lawyer if you face criminal charges. A competent attorney can help protect your rights and freedom. Criminal Defense Attorney Sean Imran has substantial experience aiding clients through their legal battles. Contact us at (631) 533-2233 to schedule a consultation.

When you are looking for the right criminal lawyer to represent you, you want to consider these factors:
ā What experience in local criminal defense does the lawyer have? In cases of crime, having experience is very important. Your lawyer needs to know the players on Long Island, understand the laws and the judges. Your lawyer should also learn how this will affect your legal problem. This type of experience will help your lawyer create plans that can greatly affect how well your case does.Ā Public defending experience is key. As someone who is a former public defender of Suffolk County, your lawyer would already have the experience of handling a case like yours and it is very possible that they would be knowledgeable about the defense strategies that have worked before in a case or not. Having practiced in close proximity with the local judges Ā they would be familiar with the local judge's decisions that non-public defender lawyers might not. With an experience of a public defender who has regularly attended court and seen how the judges and prosecutors think can make or break your representation in the court.
ā What is the lawyer's reputation? It can be hard to check this, but a good first step is reading online reviews. Search for detailed reviews obviously written by people who have used that lawyer.
ā How does the lawyer talk to others? When hiring a criminal defense lawyer in Suffolk County, talking is very important. If the lawyer speaks respectfully and simply, you can understand that they will be able to tell what needs saying in court. They'll also change such complicated words into everyday language so it makes sense for everyone. It's just as important to have a good lawyer who can tell your story well. If you can't reach the lawyer, then your worries and doubts are left unresolved. Public defender experience is key as public defenders having the experience of handling many cases are fimiliar with the prosecuting strategies and talking points of the prosecutors. Ā
āProximity is important. You want a local lawyer who knows the courts in Long Island, Suffolk County and Nassau County. A former public defender lawyer knows how local judges and district attorneys manage their cases.
What is Prosecutorial Discretion?
A good Long Island lawyer who deals with crime knows how much power the prosecutors trying to prove you did something wrong might have in your case.

Straight Dismissal? Adjourn in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACOD/ACD)?

This could happen even before charges related to crimes have been filed. Sean Imran is a very experienced LI Criminal Lawyer.
