Criminal Defense

We represent adults and juveniles facing felony and misdemeanor charges. We also help people with previous arrests get criminal charges expunged from their record.

• Assault and Abuse Charges: Someone got mad and made a threat and it was reported to the police. A teenager got into a fight with someone at school and was arrested. A few too many beers ended with a domestic assault charge. If you or your son or daughter is facing a criminal charge for assault or domestic violence, you need a strong defense.
• Shoplifting: For many people, the embarrassment and shame they feel at being charged with shoplifting is almost as serious as the financial penalties. We understand; we provide our clients with defense services that are discreet and effective.
• Drug Offenses: Even minor drug offenses like possession of marijuana can have long-term consequences in school, work, and housing. Learn more about how we tackle drug cases, from possession to sale to trafficking.
• Traffic Violations and Drunk Driving Charges: A driver's license is critical to every area of daily life. Whether you're facing charges for a DWI / DUI, you are at risk of losing your license because you have too many traffic violations, or you were caught driving on a suspended or revoked license, your life is going to change. Protect yourself; protect your way of life. Work with an experienced New Jersey defense lawyer.
