Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice handles all levels of offenses from disorderly persons charges to first-degree felonies. We represent clients in Superior and Municipal Courts across New Jersey for violent crimes, drug offenses, and white-collar crimes. Our approach combines trial readiness with strategic negotiations to achieve charge reductions or dismissals. With former prosecutorial experience, we anticipate opposing strategies to build robust defense cases.
Appellate Representation
Specialized appellate services focus on overturning unjust convictions through meticulous legal briefs and oral arguments. We handle direct appeals and post-conviction relief petitions in New Jersey's Appellate Division and Supreme Court. Our success stems from identifying trial court errors and crafting persuasive legal arguments that demonstrate misapplication of law during original proceedings.
Domestic Violence Defense
We defend clients against domestic violence charges and temporary restraining orders in both criminal and civil courts. Our strategy addresses immediate custody and firearm possession issues while challenging evidence supporting final restraining orders. We also handle expungement of domestic violence records when eligible under New Jersey law.
Megan's Law Compliance
Our Megan's Law services include challenging tier classifications and seeking removal from the sex offender registry. We represent clients at PCR hearings to demonstrate changed circumstances warranting reduced registration requirements. We also advise on compliance obligations to avoid additional legal complications.
Post-Conviction Relief
We file post-conviction relief petitions challenging convictions based on ineffective counsel or procedural errors. Our team has successfully overturned convictions where attorneys failed to address deportation consequences or missed critical deadlines. We handle both timely and out-of-time PCR applications across New Jersey courts.
