NYC Criminal Attorneys - 24/7 Availability

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. No matter the day or the time, if you need help, you can find it at our firm. We are proud to offer a 24 hour arrest and arraignment hotline – which you can call at any hour of the night to speak to a lawyer directly. 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. By contacting us immediately after the arrest, we will be able to jump into action.

We will be able to meet with you to discuss your case, your legal options and help develop a strategy for the arraignment. We will thus be well-prepared and provide you with solid guidance to help you with the complicated details, as well as any arrangements being determined during the arraignment.

Our Satisfied Clients

Kind Words From Real People
  • “His knowledge and professionalism was exactly what I needed.”
    When you are first trying to understand all the legal terms and your legal rights during a divorce, Mr. Cedeno was able to help me feel at ease of what I could expect and what I may be entitled to. His knowledge and professionalism was exactly what I needed when dealing with an ex-husband who was a bully. I would recommend Mr. Cedeno and his firm to anyone seeking legal counsel for divorce.

  • “Their 24-hour promptitude is amazing, and they were able to dismiss both cases very quickly.”
    It is definitely a 5/5. I have had 2 cases where Perez & Cedeño represented me, and they were able to set both even better than I hoped. Their 24-hour promptitude is amazing, and they were able to dismiss both cases very quickly. Also, whenever I had doubt, Mr. Perez would always take my calls or have me in his office to make me feel more comfortable. I strongly recommend their services.

  • “The level of professionalism; dedication; compassion and customer service exhibited by Mr. Perez is not common in the industry.”
    As an attorney at law in the State of New Jersey I generally receive calls from friends and family members seeking assistance and/or advice. Generally I can offer some level of assistance and guidance. That said, I am not licensed in New York nor do I practice criminal law. As such, when I received a call from a close friend in the early morning hours of a recent Saturday explaining that he had been arrested I immediately called them. Much to my surprise, my call was personally answered by Mr. Perez despite the fact that it was after midnight. Mr. Perez explained the process to me in a calm and professional manner and appeared just hours later at central booking to enter an appearance and represent my friend. Throughout the entire process Mr. Perez kept me and my friend’s family members up to date regarding the situation via phone call and text message exhibiting confidence in a candid and professional manner. Ultimately, Mr. Perez was able to achieve a favorable resolution of the issue as the matter was ultimately dismissed. As an attorney I can tell you, the level of professionalism; dedication; compassion and customer service exhibited by Mr. Perez is not common in the industry. If the need arises do not hesitate to contact them, you will be in good hands.
