Criminal Defense

45 articles from Simon Law Group

A criminal charge in New Jersey -- from a disorderly-persons offense in municipal court to an indictable crime in the Superior Court -- implicates constitutional protections and carries real consequences for liberty and record. These articles explain how New Jersey's criminal process works, including bail reform, discovery, and common defenses, and how charges are graded. They offer general legal information, not a defense strategy for any specific case.
