Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyers in Upstate New York
At the independent law offices of Joel N. Melnicoff and Albert D. DiGiacomo, we offer experienced defense representation to people in the Syracuse area and surrounding Upstate New York communities like Cortland, Herkimer, Oswego and Utica.
We defend working people, parents, students, military personnel stationed at Fort Drum and other individuals facing criminal charges in justice courts and city courts, including:
- DWI
- Assault and battery
- Underage drinking and alcohol-related offenses, such as furnishing alcohol to a minor
- Misdemeanor drug possession and unlawful possession of marijuana
- Shoplifting and petit larceny
For most of our criminal defense clients, fighting a charge is not simply a matter of avoiding or minimizing jail time. It's about protecting their jobs and reputations, their driver's license and permanent record.
We are champions for our client's rights. That means we work from the very beginning to explore every viable option. Our extensive criminal defense experience enables us to offer our clients sound legal guidance in plea negotiations and to fight aggressively in court, when necessary.
