Practice Areas
Criminal Defense
Crimes are categorized into felonies or misdemeanors, due to the nature of the offense(s) and the maximum penalty that can be imposed. These charges range from minor drug charges to first degree murder. If you have been charged with a criminal offense, we offer a defense that is both experienced and capable. Criminal charges can be very serious, so you don't want to wait to hire good representation to fight in your defense.
DUI & DWI
Being charged with a DUI/DWI can be overwhelming. You may have many concerns regarding the strenuous process. It is important to have an experienced attorney by your side to guide you through this difficult time and represent your interest zealously.
Expungements
Expungement refers to the process of sealing arrest and conviction records. Though the details vary from one state to the next, most states' laws provide that once an arrest or conviction has been expunged, it need not be disclosed, including to potential employers or landlords. A criminal record can create difficult downstream consequences, whether the record is for having been arrested, convicted (or both).
Family Law
Family law will bring you to the height of your emotional state. You need an attorney who you can be comfortable with and can trust. We understand more than just the legal ramifications of family law and what you're going through. When it comes to legal and physical custody, the process can change from county to county. So it is important that you are represented by someone who knows the process well and can help you navigate through it.
Civil Litigation
Civil Litigation simply refers to lawsuits filed by individuals or businesses who seek to enforce a legal right or remedy. Often times, the remedy sought is in the form of a money judgment, but could also be an order for other relief, such as the return of personal or real property. Having an experienced courtroom attorney who fully understands civil litigation and has the skills and resources to get the best possible result in your case is key.

The Municipal Courts in New Jersey are considered courts of limited jurisdiction, having responsibility for motor vehicle and parking tickets, minor criminal-type offenses (for example, simple assault and bad checks), municipal ordinance offenses (such as dog barking or building code violations) and other offenses, such as fish and game violations.
Wrongful Death

Immigration
Immigration law processes are very time consuming and complex. They require a great deal of patience both by the immigration lawyer as well as the clients. Choosing the correct immigration lawyer to represent you, your business, and your family is imperative to reaching success.
Estate Planning
Regardless of where you live, you should have several basic estate planning documents in place; a will, a durable power of attorney for finances, and a medical directive. Death is one of the few certainties in life and can come at any time or following a debilitating illness. In any event, planning your estate while relatively young can ensure that it is handled according to your wishes.
