Questions & Answers

I want to sue my landlord is this where I go to start the process

Nikki Cakes | Oct 20, 2019
Agent 0666 | Oct 20, 2019

Basically you start the process by going directly to clerk in the NYC Housing Court and tell them exactly how your Landlord has done you wrong and what you'd like the Landlord to do to correct it. Bronx Defenders do assist people with Landlord and Tenant issues. But more likely than not they will instruct you to do exactly as I have told you. Good Luck!

Can I get Bronx defenders to help me seal my Felony and misdemeanor cases And how much does it cost

A Google User | Oct 19, 2021
Anthony Lopez | Oct 19, 2021

These are court appointed Lawyers. I'm not sure you can actually hire them. You would have to call and ask. I am almost certain you can't. Your better off with one of the lawyers on 161st St. Notice; they are extremely expensive. I've been quoted $600.00 per appearance, on several from 161st St. Good luck sealing your record, that is one of the most difficult things to do in criminal court.

How can I volunteer for the. Cause?

How can i refuse to testify in a criminal case? I'm the victim

John Kohler | Oct 20, 2018
Mitch Pomerance | Oct 20, 2018

You can never be compelled to testify in a trial or otherwise upon the grounds that your answer may incriminate yourself which is grounded in the Constitution. However, you must appear or a warrant may be issued. Thus, speak to the ADA who is handling the matter and tell them you refuse to testify. They will though attempt to discern whether you were threatened and they could obtain a material witness order which means that they could lock you up until its time for trial. Similarly, the Court may want to pose questions to you as well.

I was given a Desk Appearance Ticket but lost the copy the officer gave me, is there anyway I can get a copy of that paperwork again? And will a DAT affect my record?

Richard Urena | Oct 20, 2019
Samuel Joiner | Oct 20, 2019

You would have to go back to the precinct where you were issued the ticket. That's going to depend on the deal you're attorney is able to make with D.A.'a office.

Roland Font Jr | Oct 20, 2019

Go to either the Bx Defenders or Legal Aid Society and let them know your situation. They do not charge. Allow the attorney to facilitate your surrender, and chances are, depending on the underlying issue, you might be required to pay a fine...especially if the bench warrant is based on a failure to pay a fine (cashier's warrant)
