How Can An Attorney Dispute a Drug Crime Charge?

Even with a recent legislative push to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana in New Jersey, drug crime charges, including drug possession and/or drug distribution, are not taken lightly. The state is quick and aggressive when it comes to prosecuting drug charges, and penalties are progressively more severe depending on the amount and type of drugs an offender is being accused of carrying.

If you have been charged with drug possession or distribution, it is in your best interest to contact our offices and discuss your case. Being accused of a drug crime is a serious matter that must be treated as such, and our firm is ready to help you. There are many defense strategies that we can explore to de-escalate charges, reduce penalties, or dismiss the case altogether. Contact us to learn more.

Can You Help Me Avoid Jail Time for a DUI/DWI?

If this is your first DUI offense, it might be scary and overwhelming to think about the penalties you might receive. While the New Jersey law does prescribe incarceration for varying periods for DUI cases, a qualified DUI/DWI attorney has the knowledge and experience to analyze the evidence gathered against you and the circumstances surrounding your case and can build a strong defense strategy.

Having a DUI on your driving record is an expensive mistake resulting in fines and soaring insurance costs for years. By challenging the evidence and arguing for alternative sentences for a first-time offender such as substance abuse treatment programs and community service hours, we can try to persuade a judge to alleviate penalties for some DUI cases. If you have been charged or will be charged with a DUI/DWI, reach out to our offices to learn your options.

What Will Happen If I Am Convicted of Assault?

Assault is a serious charge that raises many red flags once on your record. It will have many ramifications and pose challenges when it comes to finding employment, for example. This applies to any assault charge, whether they are simple or aggravated. Assault is typically charged as a third-degree offense but can be escalated to a second-degree crime in more severe instances.

Our firm has helped clients achieve more favorable outcomes for their assault cases and is well-versed in all New Jersey criminal law aspects. A well-planned defense strategy can increase your chances of reducing or avoiding jail time in some cases, keep charges from escalating and remove inadmissible pieces of evidence against you whenever possible. Every case is different, and results vary, but fighting the state on your own will likely not yield a favorable outcome. We are here to help you protect your rights and challenge your assault charges.

Does New Jersey Domestic Violence Laws Favor Victims in Most Cases?

The state of New Jersey has a firm and aggressive stance regarding domestic violence cases. Laws are designed to protect the victim until the accused party can prove innocence. It is not uncommon for prosecution to try and rush the case into a plea deal or trial, resulting in unfair treatment of the accused person’s rights.

If you have been charged with domestic violence, there are many specifics to your case that need to be analyzed. Many crimes and offenses fall under the domestic violence category and can be less serious such as simple assault or more complicated such as aggravated assault. This often comes with restraining orders and affects your ability to access your children, and it will also impact other areas of your life. Our firm will take time to listen to your case, look into the circumstances, and help you navigate the criminal process to build a durable case on your behalf.
