I'm already late on the payment can I get arrested what happens if I don't pay I'm not in the states now but will return a month after the payment has been due what happens when I land in new york
A:
Scour your money together and appeal this; I don’t know your criminal background, but one year in jail is the maximum sentence for an a misdemeanor… This sentence must be appealed. I offer a free consultation so you can call me anytime at 914-912-1555. Aubrey C. Galloway III, Esq (A&P’s Top-10 Criminal Lawyers in NY under 40)
