White Plains Criminal Defense Law

The Law Office of S.C. Davidson of White Plains offers criminal defense for individuals involved in felony and misdemeanor cases. Criminal defense cases that we have experience in include drug crimes, DUI, assault and weapons crimes, probation violation and parole violation.

A criminal defense is conduct that is considered threatening to innocent citizens or dangerous to society as a whole and is actionable by punishment such as imprisonment, probation and community service. Each area of legal service our law firm practices is determined in criminal statues which explain the type of behavior that has been considered a crime, the intent required and sometimes the punishment for that crime.

Criminal defense is broken up into two major classifications: felonies and misdemeanors. Our White Plains criminal defense law firm is exceptionally experienced in both types of litigation. If the punishment of a crime is imprisonment for more than a year it is usually a felony. If the penalty of a crime is being jailed for less than a year then it is usually deemed a misdemeanor.

In misdemeanor cases and felony cases there are numerous common defenses to the criminal charges you face. To have a strong defense you should have a criminal defense attorney to represent your interests and guide you through the legal process. Common defenses for a criminal defense case include:

• The Assumption of Innocence
• Reasonable Doubt
• Alibi Defense
• Self-Defense
• Insanity Defense
• Under the Influence
• Entrapment

White Plains criminal defense cases can be extremely complex and time consuming which is why you should exercise your right to have a lawyer that can help you fight for your individual rights.
