Anti Stalking Act Case | Repeated Unwanted Contact Investigation Resolved with a Minimal Financial Penalty

In New York, allegations falling under what is often described as the Anti Stalking Act framework carry significant criminal exposure, even when no physical contact occurs. Because New York Penal Law classifies stalking related conduct across multiple degrees, law enforcement frequently investigates repeated communication, unwanted digital contact, and persistent follow ups as potential harassment or stalking crimes.In this case, a client who sought a defense attorney in New York after being accused of persistent unwanted contact with his former partner was able to resolve the matter with a relatively lenient financial penalty.This case demonstrates how strategic mitigation, acknowledgment of conduct, and structured representation can influence prosecutorial discretion and lead to a negotiated outcome under New York’s Anti Stalking Act framework.

Crosswalk Accident Legal Defense in New York City | Full Case Resolution Without Criminal Charges

A crosswalk accident in New York City can quickly trigger both legal investigation and potential criminal exposure because pedestrian incidents fall under strict driver responsibility rules in the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL). This case study examines how a New York attorney represented a driver involved in a crosswalk accident during early morning hours and successfully resolved the matter without any criminal charges being filed. Through structured evidence analysis, consistent communication, and a comprehensive civil settlement with the injured pedestrian, the case concluded through discretionary non prosecution rather than formal criminal proceedings.New York practice allows prosecutors or police departments to decline criminal charges when the driver’s conduct does not meet the statutory threshold for offenses such as reckless driving or failure to yield causing serious physical injury. When negligence is present but not aggravated, and when the injured pedestrian receives appropriate compensation through settlement, authorities may determine that continued criminal investigation is unnecessary. This case illustrates how that process unfolds in real conditions.
