Fighting The Serious Consequences Of Criminal Accusations

The New York Penal Law defines a number of different property crimes, including both misdemeanors and felonies. Anyone 16 or older who is charged with one of these crimes will be tried as an adult. Among the most common charges are the following:

  • Criminal mischief: In New York, serious vandalism and other types of property damage are typically charged as criminal mischief. If you are accused of doing more than $250 worth of damage, you could be facing more than a year in jail for felony criminal mischief.
  • Criminal tampering: If you are accused of violating someone else’s property rights without causing any actual damage, you could be charged with criminal tampering. While this is generally a less serious charge, it can carry harsh consequences in some cases.
  • Arson: If you have been accused of setting fire to someone else’s property, you could be charged with arson. Intentional arson is a particularly serious criminal charge that carries substantial jail time if you are convicted.
