WHAT IF I AM CHARGED AS A JUVENILE?
Kraminsky Law represents youthful offenders in the State of New Jersey and New York that have been charged with various juvenile offenses. All juvenile matters are heard the Superior Court of New Jersey, Family Part. Individuals under the age of 18 may still be charged as an adult if the allegations meet certain criteria. Parents should never allow their kids to speak with law enforcement without the presence of competent and experienced legal counsel. Remember, like on TV, anything you say against yourself can and will be used against you at the time of trial. Often, the worst evidence in any case is the statement or evidence provided directly by the Defendant to the police.
There are many diversionary programs available to juveniles to minimize the impact of any charges on the juvenile’s future. Some of these programs are available even before the juvenile has been formally charged with an offense. So, if there was an incident or law enforcement has contacted the parents or guardians of a juvenile, it is important to have an attorney right away. Kraminsky Law is fully familiar with these programs and often seeks to take advantage of these programs early on in the process.
DO I HAVE TO SPEAK TO THE POLICE ALONE?
No. The Constitution of the United States afford you the right to have YOUR ATTORNEY present with you with during police questioning. You have the right to remain silent and you should always exercise that right without the presence of YOUR ATTORNEY! If you are pulled over by law enforcement, you must provide basic pedigree information such as your name, address, phone number. However, if you are being investigated for a crime, you should exercise your right to counsel, pick up the telephone and call 973-200-3787.

SHOULD I TAKE THE BREATHALYZER?
Kraminsky Law absolutely recommends that you take a breathalyzer when offered by the police. If you refuse to take a breath test to test your blood alcohol content (BAC) you WILL be charged with DWI AND REFUSAL!
If you hire an experienced DWI and DUI attorney in New Jersey like Alan Kraminsky, Esq., you have a greater chance of defeating your DWI with a BAC reading than if you are charged with refusal. It is extremely difficult to win a DWI case when a client is charged with refusing to submit a chemical breath test.
Kraminsky Law disagrees with attorneys who advise their clients to never blow into the machine. You have a better chance of defeating the results of a machine than you do of explaining why you refused to participate in a breath test!

In New Jersey, if you accumulate 12 motor vehicle points on your driver’s license, you will be suspended by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. However, certain traffic offenses may carry suspension whether you obtain 12 or more points.
IS IT CHEAPER TO JUST PAY THE FINES?
A common misconception by people is that it may be cheaper to pay the fines rather than to fight the tickets and hire an attorney. That is a dangerous way to look at it. Paying the fine results in admitting to the violation and pleading GUILTY! Once you pay the fine and plead guilty, it is extremely difficult and even more expensive to take it back.
Once you pay the fine and plead guilty, your automobile insurance premiums will rise significantly. In fact, your car insurance may even remove you from your policy.
HOW CAN I REDUCE THE POINTS?
In New Jersey, you have a better chance of reducing points and obtaining a better plea offer with an experienced New Jersey Traffic Attorney by your side. It’s no secret that individuals who appear in Municipal Courts by themselves without counsel not only have to sit and wait there all day, but usually do not get any good plea offer.
WHY CHOOSE KRAMINSKY LAW?
If you’re in a jam, you should pick up the telephone and just call Kram! Alan Kraminsky, Esq. has represented clients charged with traffic offenses throughout the entire State of New Jersey during his career. Mr. Kraminsky is commonly called “Mr. Municipal Court” by clients, friends and colleagues and has built a reputation of trust, diligence and success in handling these cases.
WHAT PARTS OF NEW JERSEY DOES KRAMINSKY LAW COVER FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENEC AND ABUSE ALLEGATIONS?
Kraminsky Law represents citizens facing a Temporary Restraining Order in each Municipality and County in New Jersey.
WHAT IS THE SILVER TEST?
Under New Jersey Law, a Plaintiff must demonstrate that the Defendant committed a predicate act of domestic violence and prove to the Court by a preponderance of the credible evidence that the Plaintiff is in actual fear of the Defendant for his/her safety without the entry of a Final Restraining Order.
WHAT ARE PREDICATE ACTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ABUSE IN NEW JERSEY?
To obtain a TRO against another party, a victim must demonstrate to the Court that one of the following predicate acts of Domestic Violence took place to obtain the protections of a TRO:
Homicide N.J.S.A. 2C:11-1
- Assault N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1
- Terroristic Threats N.J.S.A. 2C:12-3
- Kidnapping N.J.S.A. 2C:13-1
- Criminal Restraint N.J.S.A. 2C:13-2
- False Imprisonment N.J.S.A. 2C:13-3
- Sexual Assault N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2
- Criminal Sexual Contact N.J.S.A. 2C:14-3
- Lewdness N.J.S.A. 2C:14-4
- Criminal mischief N.J.S.A. 2C:17-3

- Stalking N.J.S.A. 2C:12-10
- Criminal Coercion N.J.S.A. 2C:13-5

- which constitutes a crime or disorderly persons offense.
- Any other crime involving risk of death or serious bodily injury to a person protected under the
- New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act.
- Cyber Harassment
- Coercive Control
HOW DOES A PLAINTIFF PROVE FEAR FOR SAFETY?
While every case is different, Court’s take domestic violence allegations seriously. The Court will conduct a trial, listen to testimony, observe evidence, and make a decision. If the Plaintiff can demonstrate that a predicate act of domestic violence or abuse took place, a Court will examine whether the Plaintiff has also proved that they are in legitimate fear of the Defendant as a result of the predicate act of violence which took place.
I WAS SERVED WITH A TRO AND THE PLAINTIFF IS CONTACTING ME.
If you are a Defendant in a New Jersey Restraining Order case, you absolutely cannot have any communication with the Plaintiff either in person, by telephone, through social media or through the use of third parties.
A single violation of a TRO will result in your arrest! Remember, even if the other party initiates the contact, you could fall for their trap. You cannot engage with the Plaintiff until the matter is over and results in the civil restraints being dissolved. It is not a violation of a Restraining Order for the protected party to contact you. However, that certainly will not help their case at Trial if you can demonstrate that their contacting you proves they are not afraid and do not need final restraints. However, responding will certainly make things worse as you may be charged with contempt of Court, a Fourth-Degree criminal offense for violating the Temporary Restraining Order.
WHY CHOOSE KRAMINSKY LAW?
Alan Kraminsky, Esq. has represented clients who are both accusing someone of domestic violence or who themselves are accused of domestic violence and abuse in the State of New Jersey for over a decade.
The New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act was created to protect actual victims of crime and violence taking place in their homes or at work. However, it is common for a couple to get into a fight wherein a person may use a TRO as a weapon against the other party while arguing at home. Unfortunately, many domestic violence cases are frivolous and are initiated by a party to gain an advantage in a divorce proceeding or to just use a TRO as a weapon to gain leverage against the other party.
You need a lawyer that will fight for your rights and have your back every step of the way. Alan Kraminsky, Esq. has always focused on avenues of resolution in lieu of trial in situations such as these. A final restraining order can have a lasting impact on a person, their children and their entire family and friends. If it is not actual domestic violence, a TRO should not be exercised as a weapon against anybody. The lasting impacts it can cause can be devasting.
If you are accused of domestic violence or abuse in the State of New Jersey, you do not have to be alone. Pick up your telephone and call 973-200-3787 to schedule a 100% consultation.
