Hate Crime Defense in New York City

Trust in a NYC Criminal Defense Attorney

A hate crime is defined as any crime brought about by an offender's bias towards the apparent characteristics of the victim. While involving oneself in a hate crime is against the law, it is also looked down upon in society. Hate crimes generally involve a bias against the victim's disability, religion, ethnicity, race, nationality, gender or sexual orientation.

The act of choosing to bully or bring harm to an individual because of an alleged characteristic is punishable in the state of New York. If you have been accused of a hate crime, it is in your best interest to consult with an attorney immediately. In many hate crime cases, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will become involved and find even the smallest piece of evidence to incriminate you in court.
