If you are an attorney charged with a crime in state or federal court, you are facing many issues at the same time. While most defendants can plead guilty to various charges with little impact on their profession, attorneys cannot. A plea deal that might look attractive may result in discipline from the Appellate Divisions and thus must be carefully considered.
If the attorney is under idictment, jail time may become a real possibility and must be addressed as soon as possible. Prosecutors will look at your case differently and hold you to a higher standard. While this should not be, it is a fact that cannot be ignored. Attorneys also make better targets for prosecutors who have an agenda other than upholding the law. The criminal justice system in New York, can be a scary place, even for experienced attorneys.
