Whether you’ve been arrested and charged with a crime, or are merely under investigation, it’s essential that you immediately retain strong, experienced legal counsel. The criminal justice system can seem like another world, with a language all its own and rules that seem to favor the prosecutors. Without effective representation, you can easily say or do things that will come back to haunt you.

Our Representation in Criminal Matters

We handle all matters related to any criminal charges, from arrest and arraignment to trial. When you retain our offices, we’ll immediately launch a full investigation of your case, looking at how police gathered evidence against you. We’ll verify there was probable cause for any search, seizure, or arrest, and you were properly notified of your rights if taken into custody. If there are irregularities, or if there is evidence that your constitutional rights were violated, we’ll seek to have evidence excluded or charges dropped, if appropriate. We’ll also interview all potential witnesses, so we can gather, evaluate and preserve all evidence to support your defense.

Jerry aggressively defends individuals charged with a wide range of criminal offenses, including:

• Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI)—We will protect your rights in the administrative proceeding to determine the status of your driver’s license, as well as the criminal proceeding to establish guilt or innocence and assess penalties

• Traffic violations—We defend individuals on all DMV matters, including speeding, reckless driving, failure to use due caution, and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license or insurance

• Drug offenses—We take cases involving possession, sale, and trafficking, manufacture and cultivation, drug conspiracies, handling charges involving marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamines, and other controlled substances.

• Violent crimes, including assault and battery, and domestic violence

• Theft crimes, such as grand and petty larceny, and shoplifting

We also represent minors in all types of juvenile proceedings, in both the criminal courts and family courts throughout New Jersey.
