The Name to Know in Criminal Defense Representation
Along with family law and bankruptcy, Thomas A. Corletta, Attorney & Counselor at Law, also has active criminal defense practice and has defended thousands of clients for common Penal Law offenses such as theft, assault, sex crimes, and robbery. Each case must be fully evaluated on its merits. The layman must remember that there are numerous issues in a criminal case beyond simple guilt or innocence. It is the defense attorney's duty to make sure that police have followed all proper procedures, both from a Constitutional and evidentiary standpoint, and to require the prosecution to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. If conviction occurs, then it is the defense attorney's duty to mitigate or eliminate punishment to the best of his/her ability. Therefore, as with all criminal cases, a complete review of the circumstances is necessary.

Mr. Corletta continues to stay abreast of developments in criminal law at both the State and Federal levels in order to more properly assist his clients. Mr. Corletta also, in this rapidly changing post-9/11 world, continues to stay abreast of the collateral consequences of criminal conduct, as it affects a wide array of areas including pistol permits, professional and business licensing, and immigration.
