A Review of the Long Island Criminal Courts from a Long Island Criminal Lawyer.

They represent two separate Counties and each has its own Criminal Court. Thus, it's incumbent on you to hire a Long Island Criminal Lawyer that is skilled and knowledgeable in both Nassau County and Suffolk County Criminal Courts. Moreover, each County has its own series of town and village courts that can deal with misdemeanors and traffic violations. But for the purposes of this article we will stay within the jurisdiction of each County's Criminal Courts.
