Criminal Offenses We Defend Against

Criminal charges carry a wide range of penalties, and the consequences of a conviction depend on factors beyond the offense itself. For example, a non-citizen risks deportation upon conviction for even a petty disorderly persons offense, and convictions can also block a path to U.S. citizenship.

Our criminal defense attorneys can handle numerous matters, including:

Every case, no matter how minor or major, receives the full attention of both of our founding partners. We always take the time to review all the facts before building a tailored legal strategy.

When Do You Need to Call a Defense Attorney?

We recommend consulting with one of our criminal defense attorneys before your first court appearance. We’ll carefully review all evidence the State intends to use, identify any violations of your rights, and file motions to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence. The earlier we can review your matter, the more options we can put on the table.
