What are the potential penalties for criminal offenses in New Jersey?
Penalties depend on the severity of the offense and may include fines, probation, community service, or incarceration. Felony convictions can result in years of prison time, while even minor offenses may affect your record, career, and future opportunities.
Is it worth hiring a defense attorney if I believe I’m guilty?
Absolutely. Even if you made a mistake, a skilled New Jersey criminal defense lawyer can protect your rights, challenge unlawful evidence, and work toward a reduced sentence or dismissal. Many clients are surprised to learn that legal or procedural errors can significantly change the outcome of their case.
What if the police violated my constitutional rights?
If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights, by conducting an unlawful search, failing to read your Miranda rights, or arresting you without probable cause, your attorney can move to suppress evidence and potentially have charges dismissed.
Should I accept a plea deal?
Plea deals can sometimes lead to favorable results, but they are not right for everyone. Our attorneys evaluate each situation carefully and guide clients on whether a plea, dismissal, or trial is the best course of action.
