What will a Criminal Defense Attorney do For Me?

A criminal investigation or arrest is an intimidating and scary experience. Once you are caught in the wheels of the justice system, the game must be played out and there is little you can do about it.

If your attorney is any good (and we certainly are), they are going to attempt to do a few things for you right away.

• Meet with you immediately to discuss the particulars of your case and map a preliminary defense strategy.
• Be present as a legal advisor during any and all questioning by police or investigators.
• Petition the court for reduced or no-bail if necessary and get you released as soon as possible.
• Petition the court to drop the charges completely should certain circumstances exist.
• Identify the strengths and weaknesses of your case to determine if a plea bargain is appropriate or if trial is warranted.
• Interview potential witnesses.

If a trial is warranted, then you need an attorney with courtroom experience. Many so called criminal defense attorney’s in NJ have shockingly little experience in an actual courtroom, preferring to plea bargain most of their cases.

Your attorney better know how to put together a solid defense and they better have long experience with the NJ justice system, the judges and the prosecutors. Your criminal defense attorney better know how to use forensic evidence, expert witnesses, and understand the buttons to push that will convince prosecutors to reduce or dismiss the charges against you.

And perhaps most importantly, your criminal defense attorney needs to believe in your right to a robust, vigorous defense in the NJ criminal justice system, regardless of what you’ve been charged with, or your past history of offenses.
