Indecent Exposure Attorney in Westchester County
Trial-First Defense Shaped by Former Westchester Prosecutors
An allegation involving nudity or sexual conduct can raise immediate concerns about court appearances, employment, privacy, family relationships, and reputation. The precise conduct, location, visibility, and alleged intent can affect the charge and what the prosecution must prove.
New York doesn’t use a single indecent exposure charge for every allegation. Depending on the facts, a person may face Public Lewdness under New York Penal Law § 245.00, Exposure of a Person under New York Penal Law § 245.01, or another offense. Our indecent exposure lawyers in Westchester County examine the specific charge and evidence, then prepare the case for trial from the beginning.
We’re available 24/7 and provide assistance in English and Spanish. We can explain your options and answer your questions without pressuring you to choose a particular path.
If police have contacted you, you’ve received a summons, or you’ve been arrested in Westchester County, contact our indecent exposure lawyers at (914) 875-2065.
Over 150 Years of Combined Experience On Your Side
Portale Randazzo LLP brings over 150 years of combined legal and trial experience to criminal defense. Richard Portale and James Randazzo began their careers as prosecutors. James Randazzo served as a Westchester County Assistant District Attorney from 1989 through 1995 and tried more than 30 cases to verdict.
That perspective informs how we assess the prosecution’s evidence, anticipate its arguments, and prepare for motions, hearings, or trial. Richard Portale and Louis Fasulo have also been selected to Super Lawyers.
People accused of crimes retain constitutional rights, including the right to counsel and the right not to make an incriminating statement. We explain those rights, answer questions, outline the available options, and give clients the information they need to decide how to proceed.
What We Examine in an Indecent Exposure Defense
Our evaluation begins with what the available evidence establishes. We compare the allegations with witness accounts, police observations, recordings, photographs, digital evidence, and the physical characteristics of the location.
Depending on the charge and circumstances, our review may address:
- Intent: Whether the evidence supports an allegation that the conduct was intentional.
- Lewdness: Whether the alleged exposure or act satisfies the legal requirements for lewd conduct.
- Visibility: Whether the person could readily be observed from a public place or another relevant location.
- Identification: Whether witnesses or recordings reliably identify the accused person.
- Location: Whether the prosecution has accurately characterized a residence, private property, vehicle, or public setting.
- Police Conduct: Whether statements, searches, seizures, and other investigative steps complied with constitutional requirements.
