Jason Bassett, Long Island Criminal Attorney, Receives One More Positive Review

Long Island, NY-- Being charged with a criminal offense in New York can have serious consequences. Few know this better than Long Island criminal attorney Jason Bassett. The impacts of a criminal conviction can be dire and can sometimes even change the trajectory of a person's entire life. Mr. Bassett believes that nobody needs to deal with the criminal justice system alone and without the advantage of a competent and experienced criminal defense lawyer.

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

"Although criminal penalties and prison time are challenging enough, the way criminal convictions and charges affect the rest of the defendant's life can be similarly disastrous," stated Mr. Bassett. "A defendant can be punished and serve their time, and yet for the rest of their life, there is a reminder that they are still considered a criminal in society's eyes. A criminal charge can affect an individual's future employment, educational opportunities, professional licenses and accreditations, and involvement in certain government programs. Each time that person obtains a job, the possible employer will take a look at them in a different way. A well-crafted criminal defense is critical to safeguard my clients not only from the criminal penalty itself but likewise these other long-term collateral effects."

As a former prosecutor, Mr. Bassett has observed the other side of the criminal justice system and the way numerous suspects feel they are without power within the system. He has since turned his sights to criminal defense so as to help level the playing field and protect the rights of those who have been charged with a crime at either the state and federal levels. Both clients and other attorneys continue to offer positive testimonials and reviews when it comes to their work together.

Hermina Krajcik from Long Island states: "Attorney Jason Bassett has a lot of knowledge in criminal law. But even more, he also has extensive experience in the field. He also went above and beyond what was required. He was always available and answered all our questions. He was nothing but professional and was compassionate and humble. I recommend him and his team. Rest assured that if you use him, your case will definitely be in great, capable hands."

In the US legal justice system, an offender has essential rights under the law, and it is the criminal defense attorney's job to uphold those rights. With over twenty-one years in the criminal justice system, Mr. Bassett has dedicated his practice to protecting the rights of his clients in and out of the courtroom.
