Atlantic City Simple Assault Defense Lawyer
My client was accused of simple assault in Atlantic City for a domestic violence case involving his girlfriend. She was also charged which made the case interesting. I hooked her up with a good lawyer that is a friend of mine but I would quarterback the whole case. The problem with this case is that everything was on video.
We showed up to Atlantic City municipal court ready for trial. However, after speaking with the prosecutor, I was able to get her to dismiss the case. This is not easily done in Atlantic City as the prosecutors there can be tough. My friend also got the charges against his client dismissed as well.

Sayreville Harassment Defense Attorney
Two weeks ago, I had a client that was charged with harassment in Sayreville municipal court. The case was tough because it was a private citizen complaint. As a result, there was no prosecutor to discuss the case with. Even though the victim didn’t have an attorney, she knew how to handle herself in court and she refused to drop the charges. Thus, the case had to go to trial.
Making the case more difficult was that the phone records showed that my client sent over 100 text messages to the victim in just a few hours. I objected to the records but they came in anyway. At trial, I painted the entire picture of the situation for the judge. In the end, the judge found my client not guilty of the harassment charge mainly because my client came across as a good person who made a stupid mistake. It was a great result for a great client.
