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.
