    Long Island Criminal Defense Attorneys

    Understand that you have certain constitutional rights that are guaranteed to you by the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the state of New York. You have an absolute right to remain silent. No one can force you or coerce you to plead guilty to anything. You have a right to take your case to trial, and to force the people to prove its case against you beyond a reasonable doubt. You have a right to cross examine and confront the prosecution’s witnesses and to provide your own defense. You have the absolute right to be represented by an attorney at each and every stage of your criminal proceeding.

    If you are contacted by the police to be questioned or if you are arrested, call us immediately before speaking to the authorities. It is unwise to speak to the police without an attorney present. Anything you say and any statement you sign can and will be used against you.

    If you are charged with a felony, it is particularly important that you retain counsel right away to avoid possible indictment. An indictment is a proceeding where a grand jury hears evidence to determine whether or not there is probable cause to charge you with a felony, which is a serious criminal charge. Once you are indicted, the law places restrictions on plea bargains, so it is essential that you retain counsel right away. We provide immediate and personal attention to your case to protect your rights in these instances.

    We are experienced at plea negotiations, motion practice, hearings, trials and grand jury proceedings. Our Long Island criminal lawyers are available 24/7 to handle your criminal cases, including weekend arraignments.

    I had a fantastic experience with McGuire, Peláez, Bennett & Belcastro, P.C. From the moment I walked in, the staff was professional, welcoming, and highly knowledgeable. They took the time to truly understand my case, answered all of my questions with patience, and kept me informed every step of the way.

    What impressed me most was their dedication and responsiveness — I never felt like just another client. They genuinely cared about my outcome and worked diligently to achieve the best possible result. I’d highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking strong legal representation and peace of mind. You’re in excellent hands here!

    They were a big help with a case I had that had been prolonged by NYC. With their help I avoided 8 points & an increase on my insurance. Can't recommend them enough, well worth the money.
