Do I Need to Hire a Defense Attorney?

There is no law in New Jersey requiring you to hire an attorney to defend you against the criminal charges you face. However, not having one could work against you because you will not have anyone with legal experience to advocate for while presenting the strongest argument for your side of the case.

The criminal defense attorneys at Lackey & Miller, LLC are highly experienced and bring a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the intricacies of New Jersey’s criminal laws. You could theoretically represent yourself or go with a court-appointed attorney, but this is not to your benefit.

Unless you are well-versed in NJ’s criminal laws and have courtroom experience, it will be hard to represent yourself. Furthermore, court-appointed attorneys are typically overwhelmed and may not be 100 percent focused on your defense.

Working with a knowledgeable and skilled criminal law firm could mean the difference between the criminal conviction of a serious crime and doing jail time and having a lesser sentence through a plea bargain or even charges being dropped.

Additional Resources

• Transforming Bail: A New Era for Criminal Justice Reform in New Jersey: In January 2017, the state of New Jersey enacted a massive shift towards criminal justice system reforms, including bail reform. This was done to correct persistent “glaring flaws” in the existing cash bail system. The reforms attempt to provide relief to defendants and eliminate the discriminatory tendencies found within the system for those who could not afford cash bail for minor charges, while those with serious charges could pay their way out while awaiting their court date.
• Understanding Simple Assault Charges in New Jersey: What You Need to Know: Simple assault is one of the most common charges people receive in situations where an individual attempts to purposely, knowingly, or recklessly cause bodily injury to another person, negligently causes bodily harm with a deadly weapon, or attempts to put someone in fear of bodily injury through physical menace. The word “simple” here is a misnomer because it is a crime that can lead to jail time and a fine.
