Fight Back and Save Your Criminal and Driving Record

The facts and substance of a reckless endangerment charge are subjective in nature.

An experienced New York criminal defense lawyer will often argue that the charges were excessive, and the person made a mistake. If you were driving, and momentarily lost control of your car or were distracted, you shouldn't be punished with a criminal record.

We will argue for a dismissal or a reduction to a non-criminal violation.

A reckless endangerment of property criminal charge may be able to be dismissed for restitution. If you agree to pay for the damages, you may be able to avoid charges completely.
