The first few hours following an arrest will likely be the most frightening and vital times of your life. You need help – and you need help immediately. So what do you do if your attorney doesn't operate past normal business hours? Criminal arrests do not always happen at a convenient hour. What happens if you are arrested during the middle of the night or at the break of dawn? You can't always wait for normal office hours to speak to a lawyer.

You need help – and you need it now.

It is for this reason that we at H. Benjamin Perez & Associates, P.C. are proud to make ourselves available around the clock.

Many people find themselves surprised to call the number and speak to one of our founding attorneys.

Immediate Help for Your Arraignment

Per New York State law, if you have been arrested, you will need to be brought before a judge for your arraignment within 24 hours of your arrest. What exactly is an arraignment? This is the court process which will allow for you to be read all charges that are being pressed against you. This is where the judge will officially decide whether you will be released on bail or whether you will be released on your own recognize.

It is a vital step in the process – and it happens within 24 hours of the arrest.

You therefore do not have time to wait hours to get in touch with a lawyer. The arraignment will not determine your innocence or guilt, but it will lay the foundation for the rest of your arrest and the immediate time following.

    Mr. Perez is the best criminal defense lawyer in New York! I was accused of rape and Mr. Perez saved my life. I thought my life was over. He took my case to trial and won. I was found NOT GUILTY. Mr. Perez fought very hard for me. He really knows how to defend a criminal case. Before my wife hired him she had seen six other lawyers. Mr. Perez was the only lawyer that gave us hope and made us feel like he would do everything possible to win the case. We put our trust in him and he came through for us. I owe him everything. I recommend him 100%!

  • “Superb lawyer”
    My daughter was arrested on drug charges last year. She is 20 years old, it was her first arrest and her father and I were very scared for her and what this would mean to her future. We contacted H. Benjamin Perez and he was superb! First of all, he calmed us down. He took the time to explain everything to us in full detail and was very accommodating when I would call with questions. Mr. Perez represented my daughter and was able to get her charges completely dismissed. Mr. Perez did a great job for us. He came highly recommended by one of my husband's friends (a former client of Mr. Perez) and we are very glad we called him. He is very knowledgeable, responsive and best of all very affordable. You will be glad you hired him.
