Criminal Defense Lawyer Somerset County

New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney

Consequences can be very serious for anyone charged with a criminal offense in New Jersey. The decisions you make and steps you take soon after your arrest are often critical to your future.

Unfortunately, many people believe they have no choice but to face the consequences alone. In reality, I handle many criminal cases for affordable flat fees and help many clients beat the charges or avoid the harshest penalties. Please contact me for a free consultation focused on taking control and avoiding costly mistakes you will regret.

Drug Possession — Theft — Assault — Superior or Municipal Court

My experience as a criminal defense lawyer covers both Superior Court and Municipal Court cases. I have effectively represented clients charged with a wide range of disorderly persons offenses (misdemeanors) under New Jersey law, including:

  • Possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana
  • Shoplifting or other theft charges involving less than $200

I am also well versed in court procedures, penalties, and strong defense strategies for indictable offenses (felonies), such as:

Citizen's Complaints

I can help you deal efficiently and productively with a citizen's complaint involving traffic offenses, harassment or other accusations. I strive to help clients seek a reasonable and fast resolution to these cases in order to move forward with their lives. Citizen's complaints are usually seen as more minor infractions, though if not addressed, they can become larger issues.

Expungements

I also handle the complex legal process involved with obtaining expungement of a prior offense. By having an expungement granted, your criminal record is cleared of the particular crime that is being expunged. It is important to note that some crimes may be expunged after only five years, after previously having to have been on your record for 10 years.

The Dedicated Personal Attention You Deserve

If your case requires negotiation or a trial in court, I will take an aggressive approach to defending your rights. I also recognize that many factors may have contributed to the mistake you made. If you are interested in rehabilitation or other alternatives available within our legal system, I will support this goal energetically and resourcefully.
