New York's Mandatory Sexual Offender Registration
In addition to the above-mentioned penalties, anyone who has been convicted
of a sex crime will be required to register as a sex offender in a public
database. Your private information, including your name and residence,
can be accessed by anyone, including your co-workers, neighbors, family
members, friends, potential employers, universities, or anyone else in

for many but will also make it harder to pursue educational, career, scholarship,
or loan opportunities. When the stakes are high, you will need to be defended
by a New York criminal defense lawyer who has had
consistent success in protecting the interests, rights, and freedoms of clients for nearly
