Violent Crimes
North Jersey Violent Crimes DefenseIf you or someone in your family is facing serious felony charges of any violent crime, from armed robbery to murder, you realize that the decisions you need to make soon will affect the rest of your life. To get the benefit of experienced and informed advice that can help you make the right decisions in any criminal defense situation, contact the office of Howard L. Egenberg, Attorney at Law, in North Arlington. With more than 30 years of criminal trial experience, Howard L. Egenberg not only has the legal understanding necessary to prepare the most effective defense possible to the particular charges that you are facing, he also has the practical knowledge of law enforcement investigative techniques, prosecutorial decisions, and trial practice necessary to expand your options in the face of violent crime charges. No matter what crime you have been charged with, criminal defense lawyer Howard L. Egenberg can protect you from the worst consequences. Given the severity of the sentences for the most serious violent crimes, particularly under New Jersey's No Early Release Act, a fair result for the defense can be very hard to achieve in absolute terms. An acquittal by a jury of all charges does indeed happen from time to time, but it is extremely rare. Defense victories will usually be measured in terms of guilty pleas to significantly reduced charges, jury findings of guilt on lesser included offenses or by reductions in penalties at the time of sentencing. We do all we can to reduce your possible exposure to punishment. No one is happy about being incarcerated and doing any time in custody, and we don't expect them to be. We understand that there is no easy sentence. But when considering the total exposure that one faces in the criminal system, short-term incarceration is sometimes inevitable. We provide honest, hardworking, practical, and totally committed client service in defense of such violent criminal charges as the following:
Our goal in every violent felony case is to get you the best result possible under the law and the facts. In some cases, a favorable plea agreement will represent your best option; while in others, presentation of your full defense before a jury will represent a sound strategic choice. In all cases, we will give you the information and advice you need to make the best possible decision for yourself—no hedging, no doubletalk, no punches pulled. If our approach to criminal trial defense sounds right for you, contact the office of Howard L. Egenberg in North Arlington for a free consultation about your case. |
