Criminal Defense Attorney In Mount Olive, NJ

You need A Determined Attorney On Your Side When It Comes To Your Crime in Morris County & Beyond

Being innocent isn’t always enough when it comes to defending yourself against a serious criminal charge. The sad reality is that many innocent people are ultimately convicted of crimes at trial in Mount Olive, New Jersey, or they wind up taking bad plea deals in order to avoid a long, drawn-out legal process that negatively affects their life and their livelihood. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you do not need a lawyer simply because you are innocent of what the prosecution has accused you of doing. If you attempt to defend yourself, you could inadvertently admit a violation of the law and play right into the hands of the prosecutor. Moreover, you won’t be prepared to deal with the strict filing requirements, deadlines, and other complicated formal procedures of the NJ criminal justice system. You need to speak with a qualified criminal defense attorney before it’s too late. If you have been arrested and charged with a crime in Mount Olive, NJ, the experienced criminal lawyers at James M. Porfido, Attorney at Law, LLC can help you fight the charges and avoid the most severe penalties. Contact us anytime.
