Understanding New York Criminal Law

New York criminal law operates under the New York Penal Law and the Criminal Procedure Law — a framework separate from federal statutes, with its own courts, charge classifications, and procedural rules at every stage from arrest through resolution. Whether you're facing a misdemeanor or a felony, state or federal court, knowing how the system works is the foundation of a sound defense.

Our full New York criminal defense overview covers charge classifications, court jurisdiction, the criminal justice process, and what state-specific legal knowledge means for your case.
