Where appropriate, negotiating with the prosecution for a favorable plea deal that will allow you to get back to your life and your family as soon as possible.
Taking your case to trial — if that is what you wish — when defending yourself before a jury represents the best chance at securing an acquittal.

Frequently Asked Questions about Criminal Defense in Trenton, NJ

How much does it cost to hire a criminal defense attorney?

The cost to hire a Trenton criminal defense attorney can vary widely depending on various factors in your case, including the type of charges you are facing, the complexity of the evidence involved, and how long your case is likely to take to resolve.

What is the difference between a disorderly persons offense and an indictable offense?

In New Jersey, criminal offenses are categorized as disorderly persons offenses (or petty disorderly persons offenses) and indictable offenses or “crimes”. A disorderly persons offense is a category of offense that in other states would be called a “misdemeanor”. Disorderly persons offenses are usually heard by municipal courts and sentences do not exceed more than a year in jail. An indictable offense or crime would be called a “felony” in other jurisdictions, with cases heard in the superior court and sentences for conviction usually exceeding a year in prison.
