Long Island, NY-- Being charged with a criminal offense in New York can have major repercussions. Few are more aware of this better than Long Island criminal defense attorney Jason Bassett. The impacts of being convicted of a crime could be severe and can in some cases even alter the trajectory of an individual's entire life. Mr. Bassett believes that nobody needs to face the criminal justice system on their own and without the advantage of a proficient and experienced criminal defense lawyer.
As a skilled criminal defense attorney, Mr. Bassett understands that the quality of defense that an individual gets after they are charged with a crime can make a significant difference. Whether the charges get dismissed, downgraded, a plea deal is presented, or if they end up in prison or jail and for how long, can often depend upon the work of their defense lawyer. Whether a person has actually been charged with burglary, assault, homicide, domestic violence, and even a DWI or DUI, a criminal charge and conviction can haunt them for years to come. This is why it is important to have the representation of someone with the knowledge, experience, and perseverance to fight for the offender's rights.
"While criminal penalties and prison time are hard enough, the way criminal convictions and charges affect the rest of the defendant's life can be equally devastating," said Mr. Bassett. "An accused can be penalized and serve their time, and yet for the rest of their life, there is a reminder that they are still considered a criminal in society's eyes. A criminal charge can affect a person's future employment, academic options, professional licenses and certifications, and involvement in particular federal government programs. Each time that individual applies for a job, the possible company will look at them in a different way. A well-crafted criminal defense is important to secure my customers not only from the criminal penalty itself but also these other long-lasting collateral repercussions."
A former district attorney, Mr. Bassett has observed the other side of the criminal justice system and the way many suspects feel they are without power within the system. He has since turned his sights on criminal defense so as to level the playing field and protect the rights of those who have been charged at both the state and federal levels. Both clients and other attorneys continue to provide positive reviews and testimonials when it comes to their work together.
Gutmann Busch from Long Island states: "I took a chance and reached out to Atty. Jason Bassett for assistance regarding my criminal case. Mr. Bassett was extremely patient with me, constantly addressed my questions, and also provided me with helpful advice. I knew I could trust him. His hard work and diligence led to a desirable outcome for my case. I would extremely recommend him to any individual in need of a great criminal lawyer. Thank you so much for all your efforts."
In the legal justice system, an offender has essential rights under the law, and it is the criminal defense attorney's task to support those rights. With over 21 years in the criminal justice system, Mr. Bassett has devoted his practice to securing the rights of his clients in and out of the courtroom.
