What are the consequences of a sex crime conviction in New York?

Sex crimes carry harsh punishments. Anyone convicted of a sex crime may receive a prison sentence and be ordered to pay a fine. The length of the prison sentence will depend on whether the offense was a misdemeanor or felony, how violent it was, if there were prior convictions and other factors.

A sex crime conviction also comes with a criminal record and mandatory sex offender registration. Having a permanent record can impact many areas of a person’s life that require a criminal background check such as applying for employment, getting a loan and renting an apartment.

I hired Peter to help resolve a very serious criminal charge. Peter explained all steps of the process, openly discussed pros and cons of the strategy options and provided tons of information on how to avoid pitfalls. Peter helped navigate a very complicated process and was able to achieve an absolute best possible outcome! Peter is well known and respected in greater NYC area and I am very glad I used his services.
