What We Do: And How We Help
Your Defense Starts Now
We represent clients throughout New Jersey who have been arrested or charged with indictable crimes, disorderly persons offenses, and municipal court violations. We also fight for you in administrative hearings with employers or state boards.
We understand: A criminal charge can cost you your job, your license, or your freedom. We fight to protect your future.
How We Build Your Case
- Review all evidence, surveillance, lab reports, witness statements
- File motions to suppress evidence or dismiss charges
- Work with private investigators when needed
- Fight for PTI, conditional discharge, or drug court
The burden is always on the prosecutor, not you. We make sure they prove every element beyond a reasonable doubt.

What Happens After an Arrest?
Arrest & Detention Hearing
NJ bail reform means a judge reviews a Public Safety Assessment (PSA) to decide if you’re released or detained pre-trial.
Pre-Indictment & Grand Jury
For indictable offenses, the prosecutor presents to a grand jury. We fight to get a “no bill” and have charges dropped.
Trial or Diversion
We aim for dismissal, PTI, or acquittal. If trial is necessary, we defend you before a jury or judge.
