The state of New Jersey has miles and miles of shopping malls. Each day at those malls, there are numerous people who are detained by security guards or even arrested for shoplifting.

Sometimes, just meeting with an attorney can help put your mind at ease. Knowing what can and cannot happen is an important step toward putting your fears aside and moving forward with your life.

Our Trial-Tested Approach

We always strive to put our clients in the best position possible, so our immediate goal is to obtain a case dismissal or acquittal. If this cannot be done, we seek to minimize the consequences by all legal means possible, perhaps by pursuing a plea agreement, which could include alternate sentencing that improves the impact on our client’s record.
Our Bergen County criminal defense attorney is a resolute advocate who never hesitates to take a case to trial if we feel it is in the best interests of our client. No matter how complex your charges may be, we have the proven expertise and passion to help you achieve a positive outcome. Discover how we can help you today.
