If you’re charged with any crime, the implications can be severe. Generally, it is recommended that you seek advice from a New Jersey criminal attorney so that they can evaluate your situation and counsel you on how to move forward. More often than not, criminal attorneys can focus on numerous issues that could be advantageous for both you as well as your case. Before getting involved in a relationship with an attorney, you should try to get information on what to expect.
What Does A Criminal Attorney Do?
A criminal attorney can provide you with expert legal representation for misdemeanors or felonies. Misdemeanors are lesser charges which will usually result in you being imprisoned for less than a year or having to pay a fine. Felonies, on the other hand, are more serious charges; you could end up in prison for more than a year or even face the death penalty.
