Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving New Brunswick
A criminal charge in New Brunswick can take one of two very different paths, and knowing which one you face changes everything.
Lower-level offenses, called disorderly persons offenses, are handled at the New Brunswick Municipal Court, 25 Kirkpatrick Street. More serious indictable charges, New Jersey's equivalent of felonies, are heard at the Middlesex County Superior Court right here in the county seat, since New Brunswick is the seat of Middlesex County. The difference affects the potential penalties, the process, and the strategy from day one. We start by understanding exactly what you are charged with and where it will be heard, then we examine how the case was built: the stop, the search, the statements, and the evidence the State intends to use. Each of those is a place to test the case and protect your rights. From the first appearance through resolution, we explain every step in plain language and defend the charge with a clear plan.
