Chappaqua Criminal Defense Cases

New Castle, New York is a community steeped in history and located in the heart of Westchester County New York. New Castle is home to Chappaqua New York which is known for being the place where Bill and Hillary Clinton reside. The New Castle Town Court is located at 200 S Greeley Avenue in Chappaqua, NY 10514. If you have been contacted by the New Castle Police, or if you have been arrested in Chappaqua, New York, contact our Chappaqua criminal attorneys and let us help you. Criminal cases are among the least understood legal matters a person can face. Often, criminal allegations alone are enough to damage a person’s life, causing the accused to lose eligibility to receive federal student loans, the right to remain in the United States if he or she is an immigrant, and even their freedom. It is important to choose an attorney who has experience handling these delicate cases. As Chappaqua Criminal Defense Lawyers, we are uniquely prepared to represent you in this unique Westchester County jurisdiction.

Although Chappaqua, New York is an extremely wealthy community, the New Castle Town Court can be a busy place. The Saw Mill River Parkway runs through Chappaqua, and as a result, there are lots of vehicle and traffic stops by the New Castle Police Department and by the Westchester County Police Department. Some of these traffic stops result in DWI charges, and some lead to other criminal charges such as Drug charges and Gun charges.

Our Chappaqua Criminal Defense Lawyers are part of a legal team which includes forensic experts, private investigators with law enforcement backgrounds, and seasoned attorneys. As a Chappaqua Criminal Defense Lawyer, Mayo Bartlett is fully familiar with the procedures of the New Castle Town Court in Chappaqua, New York. Our Chappaqua Criminal Defense Attorneys also have extensive experience representing college students who have criminal charges against them. Seemingly minor charges like Marihuana possession and Petit Larceny can have devastating consequences for college students. These charges can lead to denial of student loans, and even expulsion from school. If you, or a loved one is a college student facing criminal charges contact us immediately so that we may help you effectively resolve the case while preserving your ability to complete your education.
