Criminal Defense
Service Overview
Being arrested or charged with a crime in New York is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face. Whether you're dealing with a DWI arrest in Brooklyn, a drug charge in the Bronx, a domestic violence allegation in Queens, or a federal investigation in Manhattan, the decisions you make in the first 24-48 hours can significantly affect the outcome of your case.
Dial4Law connects New York residents with independent, licensed criminal defense attorneys experienced in NY State and federal courts. Our intake team prioritizes criminal matters as urgent — we share your case with a defense attorney as quickly as possible. For arrests, court dates, or emergencies, we recommend you contact a lawyer or appropriate authorities directly without waiting on a match.
Information you share during the matching process is handled per our Privacy Policy. However, communications with Dial4Law itself are not attorney-client privileged. Privilege applies only between you and an attorney who agrees to represent you.
Matters We Handle
Criminal defense in New York covers everything from minor violations to serious felonies. Dial4Law's network attorneys handle a range of criminal matters, including:
✓ DWI/DUI and refusal cases in NYC and NY State

✓ Assault and related violent-offense defense
✓ Theft, larceny, and burglary charges

The Final Result
If you've been arrested in New York, you likely need an attorney working on your case immediately. New York criminal procedure moves fast: arraignment within 24 hours, suppression motion timelines, and grand jury deadlines that can determine whether you face felony charges.
Dial4Law's matching service is free. We make every effort to share urgent criminal matters quickly with a network attorney, but Dial4Law cannot guarantee an attorney will accept the matter, that an attorney will meet a particular deadline, or that any specific outcome will result. For emergencies, contact a lawyer directly or call 911. Communications with Dial4Law are not attorney-client privileged.
