Charged With a Hate Crime in New York? Contact a New York Criminal Attorney

You have enough troubles if you are charged with any type of violent crime or crime of harassment, stalking, abuse or neglect. Your criminal charges may be made worse by allegations that you have committed a hate crime. If you were charged with a violent crime, intimidation or destruction of property based on bias or prejudice, your criminal penalties may be enhanced.

Hate crime allegations are brought by people (witnesses, investigators or law enforcement) who claim that they know what you were thinking at the time of an alleged crime. They claim that you committed an offense against someone on the basis of some characteristic of the alleged victim’s identity:

  • Race
  • Color
  • National origin
  • Ancestry
  • Gender
  • Religion
  • Religious practice
  • Age
  • Disability
  • Sexual orientation
