Juvenile

Since the juvenile system of justice is designed to foster rehabilitation, most complaints are resolved by a juvenile being sentenced to probation or a deferred disposition. Although usually not incarcerated before or after the case is resolved, the experience of being charged with a crime is still traumatic for a child and the parents involved. When I first started doing Pool work for the Public Defender's office, I handled hundred of juvenile cases in Monmouth County. This experience has enabled me to counsel clients to a high degree of accuracy concerning the likely outcome, whether a plea is accepted or the case goes to trial. What I can do for you is minimize the uncertainty involved in this very complicated process.

I am often available for a last minute representation and consultation.
