Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Spotswood
A criminal charge in Spotswood can take two very different paths, and knowing which one you're facing changes everything.
Disorderly persons offenses, things like simple assault, shoplifting, or disorderly conduct, are heard right in Spotswood Municipal Court at 77 Summerhill Road. More serious indictable offenses (New Jersey's version of felonies) move up to the Superior Court in New Brunswick, where the stakes, the procedures, and the potential penalties are far greater. At Goldman Law Firm, we start by making sure you understand exactly what you're charged with and where it will be decided. We examine how evidence was obtained, whether your rights were respected during any search or questioning, and whether the State can actually prove its case. For qualifying first-time situations, we explore diversionary options that can keep a conviction off your record. From the Summerhill Road courthouse to Superior Court, we defend Spotswood clients aggressively at every stage.
