New York Bribery Attorney
Understanding Bribery Charges
Bribery is a federal crime that occurs when an individual provides something of value to another person in exchange for a specific expected action. Bribery charges can be assessed to the individual providing the bribe as well as the person who accepts the bribe, as both are illegal throughout the United States. If you have been accused of either offering or accepting a bribe, speak with a New York & Queens federal crime lawyer at your earliest convenience in order to begin arranging for the best defense possible.
There are many different items of value that can be offered in a bribe such as money, personal favors, an official action and essentially anything that can be considered valuable. Bribery is considered to be a very serious offense due to the sheer amount of impact it can potentially have on any number of situations from personal matters to business decisions, and even to federal or state political matters that can ultimately influence and change public policy. Regardless of the specific arena in which an alleged bribe has taken place, the crime itself is taken very seriously and those convicted may face many years in prison as well as steep financial penalties.
We represent clients facing charges for bribery throughout all of New York, including Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan, Rockland County and Westchester County.
