- Domestic Violence

Usually when police are called to the scene of a domestic dispute and observe an injury, someone will be arrested; usually it's the man. Even if the other party does not want to pursue the case, the Court is unlikely to dismiss the charge. You may find yourself the subject of a restraining order, unable to return home, yet forced to pay mortgage on a home you cannot enter. Any attempt to contact the other party or your children in person, either by phone or by e-mail may result in a violation of the restraining order. After two violations, you will automatically be sent to jail. If you are accused of domestic violence, we can help you protect your reputation.

- Driving on a Revoked/Suspended License

New Jersey law does not recognize a difference between revoked and suspended licenses. We are often successful defending clients against charges of driving on a revoked or suspended driver's license. Any of our clients waited out a period of suspension and then began to drive. However, many people do not realize that they must have their license formally reinstated before they are able to drive legally again. Mark M.

It is important to seek skilled legal representation in order to minimize the negative consequences of the arrest. Our attorney, Mark M.

Our criminal defense lawyer has also defeated seizure of property through forfeiture by showing that the property is owned by an innocent third party, such as a mortgage lender, bank or an individual who was not involved in or aware of the alleged crime.

- Harassment - Domestic Violence

Harassment charges should be challenged because they can lead to a restraining order. If a restraining order is issued, you will have to turn in your firearms, vacate the premises of the person who requested the restraining order, and avoid all contact with them.
