Criminal charges carry consequences that extend far beyond the courtroom — from potential incarceration and fines to a permanent record that affects employment, housing, and your reputation. Attorney Scott Cerio provides vigorous criminal defense representation in Syracuse and Onondaga County courts.
Every criminal case is different, and every defense must be built on the specific facts of your situation. Attorney Cerio examines the evidence, challenges procedural errors, and builds defense strategies designed to achieve the best possible outcome — whether that's dismissal, reduction, or acquittal.
If you've been charged with a crime, exercise your right to remain silent and call an attorney immediately. Same-day appointments and jail visits are available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I talk to the police without a lawyer?
No. You have a constitutional right to remain silent and to have an attorney present during questioning. Anything you say can be used against you. Politely decline to answer questions and contact Attorney Cerio immediately at (315) 565-6032.
Can a criminal record be sealed in New York?
New York allows sealing of certain criminal convictions under CPL 160.59. Up to two convictions (no more than one felony) may be eligible for sealing after 10 years. Attorney Cerio can review your record and advise whether you qualify.
