Homicide, weapons charges, armed robbery, domestic violence, assault, aggravated assault, battery and other violent crime charges are serious charges that demand a lawyer who knows the criminal justice system, and who wants the best possible outcome for you. Attorney Eric M. Sears has the credentials you need when your life and your freedom are at stake. He is certified in New York State as lead counsel for death penalty cases.

They need experienced advice.

- DWI Defense

Why were you pulled over by the officer? How were the field sobriety tests conducted? Was the blood alcohol content (BAC) testing equipment calibrated and functioning properly? Those are questions that will affect the defense of your DWI charge. New York DWI defense attorney Eric M. Sears can help you fight the drunk driving charges you are facing.

- Domestic Violence

If you have been arrested or charged with domestic abuse, or served with an order for protection, you need an experienced lawyer who will look into the allegations, interview the witnesses, and protect your rights. A domestic violence conviction can limit your rights to your home and to your children. If you are involved in divorce proceedings, it can affect your right to custody or visitation. If you are suspected of child abuse (endangering the welfare of a child) or of spousal abuse, you could face jail time, pay fines, and be required to take mandatory classes. A conviction can have long-term, devastating effects on you and your family. Contact a domestic violence lawyer who will protect your rights and your future.

- Computer Crimes

Computer-based crimes can be hard to define. What may seem to be a legitimate computer-based business may turn out to be breaking a law. If you have been accused of committing a computer crime, you need an experienced computer fraud lawyer who understands the technology and the law. With more than 25 years of experience, computer crime attorney Eric M. Sears has the skill and proficiency to assist you.

- Juvenile Offenses

Juvenile crime can often be a lapse in judgment — fights at school, bringing a gun to school, petty theft, vandalism, drug possession. It is important to have a lawyer who can put the charges into perspective and focus on the child's future, avoiding a criminal record, and alternatives to incarceration (ATI). Juvenile defense lawyer Eric M. Sears will investigate the case, review mitigating circumstances, and work to keep the juvenile out of jail and in school. If there are psychiatric problems involved or other issues that can be dealt with in a program or in therapy, our juvenile defense law firm will explore those options and recommend the actions to take.

- Sex Offenses

Attorney Eric M. Sears has represented defendants for more than 25 years. He knows that few crimes - including murder - are more difficult to deal with than charges involving a sex crime. There is often a presumption of guilt from the moment someone is a suspect, challenging their ability to receive a fair trial. If you have been arrested for possession of child pornography, sexual assault or other sex crime, you need an experienced attorney on your side as soon as possible.

- Child Pornography

With over 25 years of legal experience, criminal defense attorney Eric M. Sears has the knowledge, skill and determination you need. A conviction for possession or distribution of child pornography can have significant criminal and civil consequences. In addition to potential incarceration, individuals face sex offender registration, civil commitment, loss of professional licenses and permanent damage to their reputation. It is important to hire an attorney who can provide the effective criminal defense representation you need.
