The least populous and perhaps least familiar of New York City's boroughs, Staten Island is separated from the rest of New York City by New York Bay. With about half a million residents, it is the city's most suburban borough, with possibly the least busy of the New York City criminal courts. However, a Staten Island Criminal Lawyer is aware that crime on Staten Island has increased significantly in the last couple of years, going against the general overall crime trend in New York City. The Criminal Defense Lawyers at Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC have familiarity and experience defending those facing criminal charges including DWI, Felonies or Misdemeanors, Drug Possession and Domestic Violence on Staten Island. If you have been charged with a crime there, a Staten Island Criminal Lawyer from our office can offer you free advice on strategies for your criminal defense.

Staten Island is in Richmond County (in fact, it makes up all of Richmond County). If you are facing a criminal charge on Staten Island, you will be arraigned at The Richmond (Staten Island) Criminal Courthouse, which is located at 67 Targee Street (between Frean Street and Purroy Street). To get to this location using New York City mass transit:

Take the Staten Island Ferry from the Whitehall Street terminal in lower Manhattan. The terminal is easily accessible from the 4/5 subway.
Once on Staten Island, take bus S74 from the ferry terminal to Broad and Gordon Streets, or take the S78 bus to Broad Street and Thompkins Avenue. From either of those bus stops, the Courthouse is approximately four blocks away.

Once you have been arraigned, your case gets assigned to a Part (which means it gets assigned to a court room). Each specific Part deals with a certain type of criminal case, whether a Felony Case, Drug Crime, DWI, Domestic Violence, or Sex Crime. This is why it is so crucial to have a Staten Island Criminal Lawyer defending you--one who brings experience and knowledge to the Criminal Court's various parts.

We encourage you to take all possible steps to defend yourself if you face criminal charges brought on Staten Island.

My wife and I met under some unconventional circumstances. After I had some legal problems, Mr Bilkis and his firm continually got me out of trouble. I then had his firm represented my wife and he got her out of trouble! We are still married and got our ways straightened away. We both can't thank him enough for saving our lives and our families!

I was in need of legal assistance for a very sensitive matter for a family member. I contacted the law offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC and was met with staff whose demeanor was supportive, compassionate and professional. The lawyer handling our case had many years of experience and treated us as if we were his own family. Our experience was so good, and we became so close to all of the staff and all of the attorneys who assisted us, that we consider them our extended family and continue to send them our home baked gifts for the holidays. P.A.K.
