Our Practice Areas: How We Can Help Crime Victims
Expert Crime Victim Lawyer in Ulster County, NY
Ulster County is known for its scenic Hudson Valley beauty, historic towns like Kingston and New Paltz, and vibrant college communities. However, this does not mean that residents won’t find themselves falling victim to a crime in the area that could lead them to needing to seek the guidance of a personal injury attorney.
In recent years, Kingston has seen an uptick in crime, particularly in its more densely populated neighborhoods. As is common in urban areas, incidents of assault, robbery, and other violent crimes have become more frequent, often leaving victims with not only physical injuries but lasting emotional trauma.
Ulster County is also home to several college campuses, including SUNY New Paltz and Ulster County Community College. College towns can experience elevated rates of crimes such as hazing-related assaults, alcohol-fueled violence, and sexual misconduct. These incidents can affect a wide range of individuals, from students and faculty to local residents living near campus.
The Law Offices of Eric Richman have been helping Ulster County residents who have been the victims of crimes in the area to seek the justice they deserve for over 20 years, and are ready to help.
