November 10, 2021 - /PressAdvantage/ - Long Island, NY-- Being charged with a crime in New York can have major consequences. Few know this better than Long Island criminal lawyer Jason Bassett. The results of a criminal conviction could be severe and can in some cases even change the trajectory of an individual's whole life. Mr. Bassett believes that nobody should deal with the criminal justice system on their own and without the benefit of a skilled and experienced criminal defense lawyer.

As a knowledgeable criminal lawyer, Mr. Bassett knows that the quality of defense that an individual gets if they are charged with a crime can make a big difference. Whether the charges get dismissed, downgraded, a plea deal is put forward to the defendant, or if they end up in jail or prison and for how long, can frequently depend on the work of their defense lawyer. Whether a person has been charged with theft, assault, homicide, domestic violence, and even a DWI or DUI, a criminal charge and conviction can haunt them for years to come. This is why it is important to have the representation of someone with the knowledge, experience, and determination to fight for the accused's rights.

"Although criminal penalties and prison time are hard enough, the way criminal convictions and charges impact the rest of that defendant's life can be equally devastating," said Mr. Bassett. "An offender can be penalized and serve their time, and yet for the rest of their life, there is a reminder that they are still looked like a criminal in society's eyes. A criminal charge can impact an individual's future work, academic opportunities, professional licenses and accreditations, and involvement in certain government programs. Each time that individual obtains a job, the prospective company will take a look at them differently. A well-crafted criminal defense is important to secure my customers not just from the criminal penalty itself but also these other long-lasting collateral effects."

A former prosecutor, Mr. Bassett has observed the other side of the criminal justice system and the way numerous suspects feel they lack power within the system. He has since turned his sights to criminal defense so as to level the playing field and safeguard the rights of those who may have been charged at both the state and federal levels. Both clients and other attorneys continue to provide favorable reviews and testimonials when it comes to their work together.

Doyle Brittni from Long Island states: "Working with Mr. Bassett was really awesome. He always responded to any kind of inquiries that I had and was easy to work with. His charges are extremely reasonable for the amount of job that he puts in. He took my situation and saw through it from beginning to end. My family members and I couldn't thank him enough."

In the US legal system, an accused has important rights, and it is the criminal defense attorney's job to maintain those rights. With over 21 years in the criminal justice system, Mr. Bassett has dedicated his practice to securing the rights of his clients in and out of the courtroom.
