Unfortunately, you can't change the past. You might have made a mistake. Your actions might have been misinterpreted or exaggerated. The police might have made a mistake. It might all be a confusing, overwhelming blur. But the bottom line is that you have been charged with a criminal offense in NJ and you can't go back and fix the events that led to that charge. However, you can begin - right now, today - to make certain that you receive fair and just treatment in the days, weeks, and months after your charge.
My job as a New Jersey criminal defense lawyer is to listen to your story, advocate for your needs, and minimize the impact of this criminal incident on your life. To be charged with a serious criminal offense like aggravated assault, drug possession, weapon possession, or robbery, something must have gone wrong in the past, but I am only interested in making a series of right decisions for your future.

What makes me different from other New Jersey criminal defense lawyers? I don't believe that any one solution or strategy works for everyone. I want to clearly understand my client's case and my client's interests before deciding on a plan that will work best for them. The circumstances of any serious criminal charge can be wildly different from case to case, and our strategy and approach for each case should be just as varied.
In any criminal offense case that I approach, however, some important steps I take always remain the same: I always analyze all evidence thoroughly and investigate leads;, I always strive to understand the history, needs and priorities of my client;, I always systematically look for holes and weaknesses in the prosecution's interpretation of events;, and I always seek to minimize the risks for of my client. In some cases, this may result in a dismissal of charges. In other cases, it may result in a lesser charge or a minimal sentence.
How do you know if you need a New Jersey criminal defense lawyer?
Some people who have been charged with a crime are unsure of whether or not they need the services of a specialized criminal defense lawyer - and this is understandable. Perhaps you have never been charged with a serious offense or perhaps you are being charged with a misdemeanor and very straightforward evidence. Either way, there is no harm in talking with a New Jersey criminal defense attorney during a no-obligation meeting and sharing the details of your legal situation. I will tell you if you do not require my services.
Being charged with a serious crime, such as domestic violence, battery, or disorderly conduct can be nothing less than traumatic - and many times it can feel isolating and confusing. A criminal defense lawyer can explain your rights, your options, and the possible outcomes of your case.
