Frequently Asked Questions about Criminal Defense in New Jersey

FAQ: Do I need an attorney if I think I’m under criminal investigation?

Yes. Even if you are just under investigation by law enforcement or prosecutors, you still need a criminal defense attorney to look out for your rights and interests. If you are contacted by law enforcement to request you answer questions, I will communicate with investigators and prosecutors on your behalf and inform them that you will not be making any statements or possibly resolve their suspicions so that you are no longer under investigation. And if law enforcement does choose to charge you, I will arrange a surrender which will avoid the embarrassment of you being arrested at your home, place of work, or in public.

FAQ: What should I do If I’ve been arrested?

The most important thing to remember when you are arrested is to remain silent and ask to speak with an attorney. Although you might think that you can help yourself by trying to clear up any misunderstanding, you may end up hurting your case and making it more difficult to secure a favorable outcome for your charges. Once you request to speak with a lawyer, the police must stop questioning you, but you must exercise your right to remain silent by not offering any statement to the police while waiting to speak to an attorney. It is critical to speak to a criminal defense lawyer who can advise you as to whether or not you should speak to police or prosecutors.
