New York Central Booking Attorneys

1. Our criminal Defense lawyers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist your loved ones who are held in any New York central booking.

2. As soon as we are retained, our criminal defense attorneys will file the Notice of Appearance with the Criminal Court and notify the police precinct where the arrested person is held. This will prevent anyone from discussing the case with the defendant without us being there.

3. Our lawyers will track the case from the moment we are retained. We will stay in communication with Central Booking, Criminal Court and the police precinct.

4. Our criminal attorney will walk the family members through the arrest to the arraignment process and answer any questions.

5. A criminal lawyer will review the defendant's criminal history and present charges with the defendant in Central Booking before he appears in front of the judge for an arraignment.

6. Our criminal defense attorney will tailor our bail argument to the defendant's background, needs and abilities.

7. Storobin & Spodek lawyers are in Central Booking and Criminal Court on daily basis, and are familiar with the Judges who preside over the arraignment courtrooms. This allows us to tailor our bail applications to fit the particular Judges style.

8. Our law firm will speak with the District Attorney (prosecutor) before the arraignment, and attempt to get them agree to the defendants being ROR'D (Released on his or her own recognizance.) This means that the Defendant will not have to post any bail before they released. When this is not possible, we will attempt to negotiate a bail that the defendant can afford. If the prosecutor does not agree, we will appear in front of the judge and fight for affordable bail at arraignment in Criminal Court.

9. If bail is going to be set, we can determine the likely range of the money the family should be prepared for. This is important because if the bail can't be set without a short time of seeing the judge, the defendant will be taken to Rikers Island.

10. When necessary, we will arrange to have a bail bondsman present, so that any bail can be posted in the Criminal Court immedately during the arraignment.

If your loved one is held in Central Booking in New York City, call us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (212) 748-9243.
