If you have been arrested, remember to stay calm, know your rights, and talk to a lawyer as soon as possible.

Every criminal charge is serious. If someone is telling you to plead guilty, you need to be informed of the consequences of that plea, both now and for the future. Before you say or do anything, call me for a free initial consultation.

I am a New Jersey certified criminal trial lawyer. This means that I am considered by the New Jersey Supreme Court to be an expert in criminal defense. I am also board-certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. I am one of only four lawyers in New Jersey to hold both certifications. This is your assurance that I am one of the most experienced and competent criminal defense lawyers in the state.

For 33 years, I have represented people charged with all municipal, state, and federal offenses in northern New Jersey, including DUI/DWI, possession of illegal drugs, sex crimes, child molestation, internet sex crimes, white-collar crimes, criminal fraud, violent crimes, and juvenile crimes.

My law office in Newark is technologically advanced. I have ready access to the most recent case law, combined with the legal expertise to use that law to help you obtain the most favorable disposition of your case.

I handle each case personally, and you will have access to my experience and expertise at every stage of your defense. I can represent you in a full trial or in negotiating a favorable plea bargain.

I offer a free initial consultation. The sooner you call me in your criminal case, the better off you’ll be.
