What We Do
When arrested and charged with a criminal offense, the single most important thing you must do right away is to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you. Even minor charges can have serious and lasting consequences when it comes to jobs, housing, and child custody. At the Criminal Defense Office of Ricky Shah, we have expert knowledge of how criminal investigations and prosecutions are conducted. We will be there every step of the way with you to ensure your rights are protected from the moment you are arrested or arraigned, while keeping you in the loop at every turn.
To be convicted of a criminal offense in the State of New York, the prosecution must prove each and every element of the charged crime beyond a reasonable doubt. We are experts in creating that doubt. We’re also experts in handling the pre-trial work to ensure your procedural due process rights are protected. This predominantly includes your constitutional rights to a speedy trial, to confront your accusers, and to know what evidence is being used against you.
At the Criminal Defense Office of Ricky Shah, we understand the significance of these rights, and we will leverage these rights at every turn to ensure you are guaranteed a fair and just trial, if it ever even comes to that. And if those rights are ever compromised at any point, we’ll fight day and night to fix that - whether it’s arguing that certain evidence should be suppressed (i.e., should not be allowed in at trial), or that the case should be dismissed outright because of the prejudice caused. That is what excellent criminal defenses attorney’s do, and it’s what we will do for you.
