Criminal Law Firm New York | Allegation of Non Consensual Contact Resolved Through Non Prosecution

Sexual misconduct allegations in New York often move quickly into formal investigations because the legal standard under New York Penal Law §130 emphasizes whether the complainant perceived the contact as non consensual rather than whether the physical interaction was forceful. Even minimal or ambiguous touching can be interpreted as unwanted sexual contact when the complainant later asserts discomfort, which heightens the urgency of a structured legal response. In this case, the criminal law firm New York represented a client reported for sexual misconduct following a misunderstanding during a private social interaction with a younger acquaintance. Although the client believed the contact was friendly and consensual in nature, the complainant later filed a police report alleging sexualized touching.

Attempted Fraud Defense in New York | Complete Acquittal in a Forged Document & Attempted Fraud Investigation

Allegations involving forged documents and attempted fraud in New York often trigger intensive investigative steps because prosecutors rely heavily on documentary evidence when determining intent, authenticity, and the existence of a fraudulent scheme. When a dispute over financial settlements escalates into accusations of forgery, law enforcement typically conducts a detailed review of handwriting samples, notarized signatures, digital document properties, and corroborating circumstances. In this attempted fraud case, a New York criminal defense attorney successfully demonstrated that the contested documents were authentic, that the client acted within a legitimate financial claim, and that no fraudulent intent existed under New York Penal Law. Through a structured defense based on NYPL §170 (Forgery), §175 (Falsifying Business Records), and attempted fraud principles under §110.00, the attorney secured a full acquittal on all charges. This case study outlines how proper evidentiary development, forensic review, and contextual reconstruction can dismantle allegations that initially appear document-driven and prosecution ready.
