Our Practice Areas: How We Can Help Crime Victims
Expert Crime Victim Lawyer in Orange County, NY
Some of the urban areas in Orange County, like the City of Newburgh and parts of Middletown, have some of the highest crime rates in the Hudson Valley. These more densely populated neighborhoods tend to see a greater number of violent crimes, including assaults and robberies, especially when compared to more suburban towns like Warwick or Cornwall.
Orange County is home to major attractions like Woodbury Common Outlets and LEGOLAND New York. These kinds of attractions tend to draw large crowds that don’t typically frequent the area and often become hotspots for incidents like theft, assault, or injuries caused by negligent security – specifically in crowded parking lots or during large public events.
For over 20 years, The Law Offices of Eric Richman has helped crime victims all throughout Orange County. Whether you’ve been injured in a violent attack or have been the victim of a robbery, Eric is ready to help you fight for the justice you deserve.
