Re: statue of limitations

There is a statue of limitations on misdemeanors in NY but it would also matter as to what happened in court originally. Was this the first Court date? Was there a bench warrant because he didn't show up? This area of law is our specialty, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
