Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Perth Amboy
A criminal charge in Perth Amboy can land in one of two very different places depending on its severity.
Lower-level offenses, called disorderly persons offenses, are handled in the Perth Amboy Municipal Court on New Brunswick Avenue, while more serious indictable crimes (New Jersey's version of felonies) move up to the Middlesex County Superior Court. The distinction shapes everything: the potential penalties, whether you face a jail term, and how the case proceeds. Goldman Law Firm defends people accused across that whole spectrum, from disorderly persons matters to indictable charges, and we start by examining whether your rights were respected, how evidence was gathered, and whether the State can actually prove its case. We represent Perth Amboy's diverse residents and make sure Spanish-speaking clients understand exactly what they are facing and what their options are. A charge is not a conviction, and the choices you make early can change the outcome. Call us as soon as you are charged so we can get to work on your defense.
