Don’t Ignore a Seatbelt Ticket

Legal Services

Most everyone knows the slogan "click it or ticket." Getting a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt may seem like a minor infraction but could in fact come back to haunt you down the road, no pun intended. In New York, a seatbelt infraction does not carry any points but does impose a fine. It also appears on the guilty party's driving record. By appearing on a driver's record, it can have an adverse effect when attempting to plea to a reduced charge in the future to a speeding violation or failure to obey a traffic device. These infractions carry points as well as fines. Now here is where ignoring a seat belt ticket can come back to bite you. Let's say one is ticketed for not wearing their seatbelt…

What to do after getting a Criminal Charge

Blog, Criminal Law

When faced with a criminal charge, whether it be a felony or misdemeanor, there are numerous things one should take into account before dealing with the issue head on. First, one should know their basic rights. Everyone is familiar in some fashion with the "Miranda Rights, " which begin with "You have the right to remain silent." This statement is an extremely important one in that it gives the accused the right to not say anything that would potentially incriminate themselves in the future. More often than not, defendants are convicted not on the actual accused crime itself, but on the criminal procedure that follows thereafter. All sorts of verbose technicalities ensue during a criminal investigation and if one were to slip and say the wrong thing out of context,…

New York’s No Fault Divorce

Blog, Hot Topics in Law

[caption id="attachment_693" align="alignleft" width="260"] No Fault Divorce Lawyer Option[/caption] DIVORCE BY REASON OF NO FAULT IN UPSTATE NY Recently NY passed new legislation within the domestic relation law that now allows couples to divorce by reason of "no fault." This is similar to divorce by way of irreconcilable differences, which is a divorce option in other states. What this means is that neither party is holding the other responsible for the pending dissolution if the marriage. Prior to this recent legislation, the quickest way to divorce by way of mutual agreement without holding either party at fault was to file a separation agreement and then live separate and apart for at least one year. After such time, one of the parties would file for divorce and a judgment was typically…

The Law of Steve Jobs

Blog, Featured Articles, Hot Topics in Law

With the passing of the incomparable Steve Jobs, one cannot come across a tech article or blog without the mention of his name. With that being said, it is arguable that without Steve Jobs, we would have no blogs to even read. Steve Jobs without a doubt had a significant influence on countless people's lives in terms of technology. While that may be a mere understatement, what some do not realize is that Steve Jobs in some way, shape or form changed how we as a society function in terms of business across countless platforms. Jobs made computers "cool." His intent was to implement them into our daily lives, for the average person, not for the select "computer literates" that at one time, were very few and far between. Steve…

Your Vote Counts…Literally

Blog, Featured Articles, Hot Topics in Law

With election day right around the corner I thought I would share a personal experience as it pertains to an election campaign. One hears the phrase "Every vote counts" during times of election, but this term holds very true to myself and my family in a very literal sense. My father and law partner, Martin A. Carbone, Sr., was the acting City Court Judge in Mechanicville, NY for 12 years before seeking the top judicial spot. Prior to his campaign in the fall of 1991, he had already served a year as the full time City Court judge, as his predecessor fell ill and could not complete the remainder of his term. In order to successfully seek re-election, my dear old dad not only had to fight with the powers…

Managing Marital Property

Blog, Featured Articles, Legal Services

When getting a divorce, one of the first items of business that comes up is "who gets what" in terms of martial assets. As with most issues in the wonderful world of law, it all depends. Typically speaking, when a couple goes through a divorce, the assets, known as marital property, get divided as evenly as possible. The issue then becomes what assets are considered "marital." A marital asset is any piece of property, including, real, personal or monetary that was acquired and cultivated throughout the course of the marriage. Examples include the marital home, vehicles, bank accounts, and other personal property such as furniture, electronics, etc. When entering a divorce, the parties may elect to divide up the marital assets any way they so choose. If one spouse elects…
