What We Do
Whether fourth degree theft by deception or first degree murder, only the most serious offenses in New Jersey are technically “crimes.” These charges are addressed in each county’s Superior Court, and are commonly known as “indictable” offenses. One thing they all have in common is that you do not want to face any of these types of criminal cases alone. Hiring an experienced criminal lawyer is the best way to fight serious criminal charges and to avoid criminal record.
The offenses being addressed in juvenile court may be the same criminal charges levied on adults in the criminal justice system, but the philosophy is completely unlike that of adult criminal court. Juveniles are treated differently because we acknowledge that youthful offenders differ significantly from their adult counterparts in terms of brain development and psychology. When evaluating which of the many criminal defense lawyers in the area is the best fit to represent your child, choose a New Jersey criminal lawyer with years of experience specifically working to protect the rights of minor clients charged with a crime.
Receiving a traffic summons for speeding or DUI/DWI or being charged with disorderly conduct or harassment is not as serious as being charged with “crime” in the state of New Jersey, but all of these offenses can have significant collateral consequences that can effect your life and livelihood. If you are facing allegations that you have committed a traffic violation or lower-level criminal offense (disorderly persons offense) in municipal court, it is imperative that you are receiving legal advice from a criminal lawyer with years of experience.
Free Consultation
When you schedule your free consultation with Forrester Law Firm, you are taking the first step in a long process. Plenty of criminal defense attorneys promise that they will protect your rights, but when addressing any legal matter a person’s primary objective should be understanding their rights: only then is it possible to evaluate the options before them. It is impossible to fight for your rights without an adequate understanding of your circumstances. This methodical assessment begins from our first conversation, so it is important to provide as much relevant information as possible about your criminal case at that initial consultation.
