You will go through several legal processes if you’re arrested. If you are charged with a criminal offense, it is important that you understand your rights. You must follow the law, even if you don’t believe you are guilty.
An arraignment hearing will be held after you have been arrested and taken into custody. You will be informed by the judge about what charges you face and asked for your plea. If you are unable to afford one, the judge will inform you that you have the option of a court-appointed attorney. A not guilty, guilty, or no-contest plea can be entered.
A judge will record your plea and decide if you’re eligible for bail bonds. You are required to appear at your next court date if you have been released under a bail bond. Otherwise, you risk being arrested again. A review of probable cause may be held in court if you are arrested for a crime without a warrant. The probable cause review usually takes place without the defendant present.
You may have your charges dropped in certain cases if you fail to submit the probable cause review and arraignment within the time allowed or if there isn’t enough evidence. You may be offered a plea deal by the prosecutor before your case is brought to trial. A preliminary hearing will take place if you are charged with a felonious offense. Your criminal attorney will search for witnesses to your case and file motions in your favor. To defend your case to the best of his or her ability, the defense attorney will ask the prosecutor for relevant evidence.
Criminal defense lawyer Russ Kofman and his criminal defense team have dedicated their work to protect the rights and freedom of those who are accused of criminal offenses. At Lebedin Kofman LLP, our team of experienced Bronx criminal attorneys makes it their goal to ensure that the defendant has a solid defense strategy against their criminal case. If you or someone you love is facing criminal charges, contact Lebedin Kofman LLP today.
Due to the United States Constitution, each state has its own sovereignty. The United States Constitution allows states to govern themselves. This gives the States the ability to pass their own laws. There are many state laws that overlap with federal laws. If a state and federal law conflict directly, the federal will prevail and will be the law. The Supremacy Clause in the United States Constitution says that federal law is the “supreme law” of the land. The federal law may also be used to govern one specific area of law, and the United States can’t enact laws in this particular area. A federal offense usually carries a harsher penalty and can often lead to longer prison sentences and higher fines.
Most crimes are handled at the state level. There are some circumstances in which federal prosecutors may choose to pursue a defendant over deferring to State prosecutors. Federal prosecutors are likely to prosecute the following areas: national security, taxes and military, postal office, and interstate businesses.
A defendant who has committed both state or federal crimes can be prosecuted and charged if he/she meets both of these elements. Double jeopardy applies only when two different entities try a defendant for the same charge. Double jeopardy would be avoided since the federal government, as well as the state government, are two distinct entities. If the crime elements are proven beyond a reasonable doubt, two states may prosecute the defendant.
Lebedin Kofman LLP offers strategic defense for those who are facing criminal charges. Bronx criminal defense lawyer Arthur Lebedin understands how important it is to have the legal advice of a high-quality attorney criminal defense team.

The Opinions That Matter Most
Thank you so much for all of your advice and help!
“I can’t say enough good things about these guys. Their service is worth every penny, super responsive and have a wonderful staff. I had consulted so many other lawyers and just didn’t feel they were a right fit. From the moment I spoke to Mr Kofman, I felt so much better and confident in him. Everything he said he would do, he did. I was not charged a penny more than what I was quoted, which was surprising from my previous experiences with other lawyers. On top of that, I feel like the whole team went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend these guys to everyone.”

“For the past year I’ve been fighting for my freedom. My world seemed like it was crashing before my eyes. I had 2 felony gun possession cases in Manhattan. From the beginning Russ and John were there. I was denied bail at my first hearing but they fought to over turn that so I can fight the case from the outside world instead of a jail cell. They even got my bail reduced to a reasonable number afterwards. Moving forward they faught hard and relentless. Until ultimately BOTH cases were dismissed. Miracles do happen.”
