How Do I Find a Lawyer for Leaving the Scene of an Accident With Injury Charges?

Choose a criminal defense lawyer who handles leaving-the-scene cases involving personal injury under VTL § 600. These allegations carry serious consequences because New York drivers must stop, provide identifying and insurance information, and render reasonable assistance after an accident involving injury. 

Charges range from misdemeanors to felonies when the government alleges serious physical injury or death.

Matthew Cohan and his team defend clients facing leaving-the-scene charges by examining the evidence of knowledge, the extent of the alleged injury, police reports, surveillance footage, accident reconstruction, and the steps taken after the incident. The prosecution must prove you knew, or had reason to know, that an accident occurred.

Early legal representation helps protect both your criminal case and driving privileges.

Hire a criminal defense lawyer who handles New York orders of protection and related criminal cases. Matthew Cohan and his team explain the order’s terms, address restrictions affecting your home or children, and defend against alleged violations. Follow the order exactly and seek legal advice before any contact with the protected person.
