Jersey City Your Case Becomes My Mission & Every Mission Is Possible

Jersey City Criminal Defense Attorney

Have You Been Arrested for a Crime in Jersey City?

Whether you have been arrested for a criminal offense, or if you are under investigation you are probably very nervous about what will happen next. Unfortunately, being a suspect in a criminal investigation is not a good thing, and you need to make sure that your legal rights are not violated by law enforcement or the prosecution.

Even though the legal system attempts to catch the right person, it is not foolproof. If the legal system didn't make mistakes, innocent people wouldn't be wrongfully convicted and sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit, only to be freed years later when new DNA evidence exonerated them. If you want to take every action possible to protect yourself, you will need to retain the services of a seasoned Jersey City criminal defense lawyer.

My firm represents clients who have been charged with assault, DWI, sex crimes, theft crimes, white collar crimes, and traffic offenses. I can also represent you if you are facing weapon charges, or more serious charges involving manslaughter or murder. In each case that I take on, I make sure that I provide my client with the highest level of attention and dedication so they can have the best possible chances of achieving satisfactory case results.

No matter what challenges you are presently up against, my main objective is protecting your rights and your freedom throughout the criminal process.
