"Getting in trouble can ruin your life if you don't take the right steps to get out of it." "Hiring an aggressive criminal lawyer in NJ or NJ DWI lawyer with the right connections can potentially help you get off the hook." Please read on. I think that most people have gotten into trouble at some point or another, we just all look at trouble a little differently. This could be as serious as a DWI offense, gun charge, or some other crazy situation where you happened to find yourself in the back of a police car. It could also be something as simple as a traffic ticket (some actually not so simple). It doesn't matter how you got into this situation, what's important is getting you out of it.If you're facing potential jail time, massive fines, or loss of driver’s license, you're probably nervous to say the least. I'm sure that you want to put these legal issues behind you as soon as possible (ideally without breaking your bank account or ending up in jail). On the bright side, as a NJ criminal lawyer and NJ DWI lawyer, I can help. "The first step in finding the right NJ criminal lawyer is to choose someone who's not afraid or too LAZY to stand up in court, and fight to keep you out of trouble." I was one of several defense attorneys in a major New Jersey criminal defense firm, and to be honest the other lawyers just didn't care. It didn't even seem like the founding partner had any desire to his hands dirty, or putting in the effort to battle out a case anymore. They all wanted to step into a meeting room with the prosecutor, and take the first deal that would put them back on the golf course. That type of mentality is not what makes a New Jersey criminal attorney. We should be aggressively fighting for you, looking for every single loophole, and examining every single detail about your arrest. I want to know the hour and minute that your paperwork was filed, and I want to know about every single detail regarding the instance in which you got in "trouble". What procedures did the officer follow? Did he follow them correctly? Did he document each specific element? I grew up with a lot of guys that became police officers. In high school, they didn't seem like the type to be great at filing documents. These are the details that make criminal lawyers in NJ successful. I would be embarrassed to be one of the guys that buys their way to the top of Google for a term like "DWI attorney New Jersey" and then takes every case directly to a plea bargain. Be careful, because they are out there. "The legal system can be a pretty complicated thing, but it can also be tremendously simple. Sometimes a simple glitch in paperwork can get a case thrown out, and sometimes relationships make all the difference." Sometimes the prosecutor fighting against you might be someone I know personally or meet at the gym for a workout. It’s hard to believe, but stuff like this actually matters. Winning can be just as much about knowing people, as it is about knowing the law. I'm not suggesting that your case will definitely be like this. I'm certainly not allowed to make promises, it's actually an ethics violation for me to do so as a criminal defense attorney! All I can say is that your success in fighting against the system is based on both your criminal lawyer's connections and a thorough knowledge of the legal system. This kind of relationship building doesn’t happen immediately. When you hire a firm, you have to make sure they aren’t just going to stick you with the new guy, who hasn’t fought a real case in his life... To read more, please visit our homepage. In summary, I've been a criminal lawyer in NJ for a long time and fought huge cases all over the state. I am also a local Hackensack lawyer and Bergen County lawyer with the relationships necessary to get the best result in your case.
