        _Assault and Violent Crimes Defense Lawyer

        _A conviction on assault and other violent crimes can result in serious penalties including being served with an order of protection, fines, probation and jail time depending on the severity of the offense. The accuser and the accused both have rights that need to be considered in these cases. It is important, then, for you to have an experienced defense lawyer in your corner to help protect your interests.

        At the New York law office of Galal Chater, Esquire, I defend the rights of clients throughout the five boroughs who have been charged with assault and other violent crimes.

        __In many cases, my clients are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and find themselves in the middle of a bar fight that had nothing to do with them. I have been an attorney in New York City for over 10 years. I have extensive experience in these cases and I am ready to fight for you.


        Getting to the Truth

        Very often in assault cases, it all comes down to your word against your accuser's. The other person might say you attacked first and claimed it was a case of self defense when it was actually the other way around.



        ___Regardless of how everything transpired, I will attempt to make the strongest possible argument to support your position. I also defend clients against a variety of other violent crimes, including homicide, car jacking, robbery and weapons crimes.

        In every case, I thoroughly investigate all the evidence against you. I visit the scene of the incident and look for irrefutable evidence of your innocence. I look at surveillance videos, witness statements, and inconsistencies in accounts of the incident. In gun cases, I also look at ballistics and how the prosecution is trying to connect you to the weapon.

        _Domestic Violence: Tough Domestic Violence Defense

        _New York has a "must arrest" policy in domestic violence cases. This means that if the police receive a domestic violence call, someone is going to jail. There doesn't even need to be actual physical contact for domestic violence charges to be issued. Even if the alleged victim is simply in fear of harm, you can be taken away and served with a temporary restraining order.

        Domestic violence accusations can make it very difficult for you to have access to your home and live a normal life. If you are facing domestic violence 



        ____charges or have been served with an order of protection, seek the advice of an experienced defense lawyer who can protect your interests and work to ensure that you are not held responsible for a crime you did not commit.


        Protecting Your Interests

        At the New York law office of Galal Chater, Esquire, I offer my clients over 10 years of experience in the practice of law. I have spent my entire career as 



        ____an attorney in New York City, helping clients throughout the five boroughs in successfully resolving all types of domestic violence matters including abuse, assault, and many others.

        In many cases where couples are simply fighting, one may decide to claim domestic violence when there was no real threat at all. I will work diligently to expose these false allegations for the lies that they are and seek to preserve your rights and your freedom.
        _Drug Crimes: Protecting Your Rights Against Drug Charges

        _In our legal system's ongoing war on drugs, it sometimes seems that law enforcement will do just about anything in order to make an arrest. So much so, in fact, that they appear to completely forget about the basic constitutional rights of the people being investigated for the crimes.

        If you are facing any type of charge for a drug-related crime, no matter how minor the incident may seem, be sure you have an experienced defense attorney on your side to protect your interests. At the New York law office of Galal Chater, Esquire, I believe that there is nothing more important than your rights. Nothing.



        _Aggressive Drug Crime Defense

        I have been a lawyer in New York City for over 10 years. I have helped clients facing all types of drug related charges, including possession, manufacturing, and many others. I know the law and my primary concern is to see that your rights are respected at all times. I look at every aspect of your case and closely examine the police reports and evidence against you.


        I have been successful in many drug cases by attacking specific aspects of the case like illegal search and seizure, entrapment, and probable cause. I look for every opportunity to have the charges against you dismissed.



        _Although plea bargaining is a very important process in every criminal case, it is important for us to defend against the charges wherever possible, especially if you have been wrongfully accused or if your civil rights have been violated I want to beat the charges against you outright. I fight hard and I fight to win.

        I have defended clients against all types of drug charges, including:

        •  Possession
        •  Possession with intent to sell
        •  Manufacture
        •  Trafficking
        •  Delivery
        _Sex Crimes: The Experience You Need in Sex Crime Defense

        Sex crime cases are some of the most challenging cases in our legal system today. The mere allegation of a sex crime can ruin a person's reputation and do irreparable damage to his or her relationships with family, friends and colleagues. With your very future on the line, be sure that you have an experienced defense lawyer in your corner.

        It often appears that the system operates on an assumption of guilt rather than innocence in these cases.

        At the New York law office of Galal Chater, Esquire, I will fight aggressively 


        on your behalf and put forth the strongest possible defense in order to preserve your freedom and your good name.


        Fighting to Protect Your Reputation and Your Freedom

        I have been an attorney in New York City for over 10 years. I have handled all types of sex crimes, including rape, molestation, child sexual abuse and child pornography. I have a complete understanding of the law in these cases and I know what it takes to reach 



        a positive outcome.

        I go through every piece of evidence in the prosecution's case and talk to every person who made a statement in the investigation in order to find any  inconsistencies and holes. Whenever possible, I will work to determine if your accuser had any motivation to lie about the allegations against you. If the case involves a child, we will request any necessary records from child services to find any contradictions in their statements.



        _Theft Crimes: Strong Defense Against New York City Theft Charges

        A conviction on theft charges can result in serious penalties including fines and jail time. Depending on the severity of the offense, such a conviction could also leave you with a criminal record that can follow you for the rest of your life.

        There is a lot at stake in these cases and you need a skilled defense lawyer on your side to ensure that your rights are protected. 
        At the New York law office of Galal Chater, Esquire, I defend clients throughout the five boroughs against all types of theft charges, 
        including burglary, robbery, larceny and property crimes.


        Fighting to Protect Your Interests

        As your attorney, I will work tirelessly on your behalf. It is up to the prosecution to prove your guilt in these matters and there is a considerable burden of proof that they have to meet. I will aggressively attack their case and pursue every legal option at my disposal to expose the weaknesses in their case.



        __Every theft case is unique; I approach each one with a fresh perspective. I pride myself on the customized solutions I provide to each client. I will work with you to understand the details of the case and use that information to build a strong defense on your behalf.


        _White Collar Crimes: Thorough Defense Against White Collar Crime Charges

        _White collar crime is a term that describes a group of nonviolent, theft-based crimes typically committed with the use of technology. Many of these crimes are committed by employees with access to financial information or employee records. White collar crime can also involve defrauding the government for disability benefits, unemployment benefits and other matters.

        A conviction on these types of charges can result in significant penalties and can create a criminal record that makes it difficult for you to get a new job, apply for credit and many other things.



        __ White collar crime cases tend to be very complex matters.

        An experienced defense lawyer can help to minimize the impact of the charges and work to achieve a positive resolution in the case.
