If you are arrested in Manhattan, or anywhere else in the New York City area, you have the right to be seen by a judge within 24 hours. For this reason, the New York City Courts are open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It is important that the Courts are open, but what happens when you get in front of a judge is what matters most. You need to hire an experienced New York criminal defense lawyer immediately. If you do not have a qualified retained (private) lawyer at your arraignment, you are at risk of spending hours more in harsh conditions of confinement and may lower your chances of being released without bail.
