Bill Would Provide New Procedures for Veterans in the Criminal Justice System

As Americans, we owe a tremendous debt to our veterans for our liberty and safety. We need to keep in mind that many veterans returning home from combat relive the devastating effects of war each day, and many suffer major psychological illnesses.

One in four veterans returns from the warfront with mental illness such as PTSD, addiction, and depression. Half of these vets are left untreated and often find themselves in conflict with the law. In New York State alone, it is estimated that there are at least 27,000 veterans who suffer from mental illness.

“Raise the Age” Bill Would Stop Treatment of 16 and 17 Year Olds as Adults in the Justice System

New York remains one of only two states that have not yet increased the age of criminal responsibility to 18. However, a new bill backed by Mayor DeBlasio and New York City top law enforcement officials could change that. The proposed “Raise the Age” legislation, if passed, would cease treating 16 and 17 year olds as adults in the criminal justice system.

Opponents to the bill have expressed that they are concerned that the bill sends the wrong message and the crime will increase. They point out that “some of the most heinous crimes are committed by 16 and 17 year olds.” In New York in 2014, out of 30,286 crimes committed by 16 and 17 year olds, 22,200 were misdemeanors and 4,160 were non-violent felonies.

Reviews

Absolutely a gem of an attorney. I walked into his office and explained my traffic issue to him, he understood my needs and confidently told me he’ll take care of multiple tickets. He then proceeded to do exactly that, even going to the prosecutor multiple times as he was unhappy with their initial offering.
Highly recommend this firm to anyone dealing with issues from the abysmal traffic authority of Long Island.
Recommend 100000%
A speeding ticket is always stressful specially when it is a out of state ticket. Hiring 'Daslin' to handle this speeding ticket was a great decision. She immediately jumped on my case and handled entire process/options and she also clearly explained what to expect. It was so impressive that i did not need to do anything at all and the ticket was dismissed😊😊. Thanks to her. I strongly recommend 'Daslin' for any traffic-related issue.
Chris was great, helped me with my landlord issue while being very informational and got right to business to get me back my deposit. Highly recommended !!
Great professional service. Got a swift hassle-free and great outcome as promised. Thank you to Chris and his team!
