Criminal Law and Your Rights
In New York State, people who have been accused of criminal offenses face determined prosecutors with the government’s virtually inexhaustible supply of resources at their disposal.
Unfortunately for the accused, the promise of “innocent until proven guilty” does not often provide enough of a balance against those vast resources on its own. To protect your rights, and potentially your freedom, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
At Strauss & Kallus Law Offices, we believe in standing up for our clients’ rights and freedom. Our goal is to obtain the best possible outcome for every client, regardless of the charges involved.
In eight years as a prosecutor for Orange County, New York, Barbara Strauss learned the criminal court system, the application of criminal law, the rules of evidence, and how to prepare a case for trial. Over the course of the last eighteen years as a defense attorney, she has put this knowledge to use for individuals throughout Orange County and the surrounding areas of New York who have been charged with felonies or misdemeanors such as:
Drunk Driving (DUI/DWI),
Car Theft,
Grand Larceny,
Shoplifting,
Burglary,
Drug Possession,
Assault,
Attempted Murder,
Homicide,
Sexual Assault,
Child Sex Abuse,
Domestic Violence
In addition to having successfully defended numerous clients in felony jury trials, Barbara J. Strauss also maintains an extensive appellate practice that includes handling criminal appeals. One of the few lawyers in this area dedicated to appeals work, Barbara’s background as a prosecutor and her understanding of the issues from the state’s perspective are invaluable assets to have on your side.
