  • Jail time,

Frequently Asked Questions About South Jersey Criminal Defense Strategies

FAQ: Should I accept a plea bargain instead of moving forward with a trial?

Our lawyers treat plea bargains as a last resort. While we might negotiate to reach a favorable plea bargain if we have explored every alternative and are unable to get your charges dropped, we will never pressure you to accept that plea bargain. When a plea bargain is on the table, we will help you understand all of your options so that you can make an informed choice. At this point, we will be straightforward about the evidence in your case and whether we think the prosecution has a strong enough case to convict. We don’t back down from the courtroom and are always fully prepared to fight for our clients’ rights at trial.

FAQ: Why is my criminal defense lawyer’s actual experience navigating the legal system so important?

The experience of your criminal defense lawyer can make all the difference in the way your case is handled—from start to finish. The New Jersey criminal justice system is complicated. Your lawyer has to be familiar with the practical issues that will arise along the way—for example, it’s important to know:

– What will happen at your arraignment,
– What needs to happen to get you released after a detention hearing,
– How to handle a situation where there was some irregularity in the way the prosecution got their evidence.

Real-life court bears very little resemblance to TV, meaning that even the most passionate and smart lawyer can fail to get results if they don’t have the experience to back up their knowledge. Practical procedures have to be followed in order to get results—and our lawyers are deeply familiar with how to put our deep legal knowledge and passion to work while satisfying the practicalities of the criminal justice system.
