New Jersey Defense Attorney Representing Clients Charged With Disorderly Persons Offenses
A disorderly persons offense is a charge involving disorderly conduct, assault, theft or other personal action. While these offenses are less serious than criminal charges, a conviction can still have a negative impact on your life. Penalties can include jail time, fines and loss of your driver's license.
With a conviction comes a criminal record that can affect your employment, loan qualifications and housing opportunities. If you or your child has been charged with a disorderly persons offense, it is important that you vigorously fight the charge.
My name is John W. Hartmann. At my office in Princeton Junction, New Jersey, I have years of experience representing people charged with disorderly persons offenses. As a former municipal prosecutor and current criminal defense lawyer, I understand both sides of these disputes and use this knowledge when representing my clients.
Familiarity With the Municipal Courts
If you or your child has been charged with a disorderly persons offense, you need a lawyer who is familiar with your municipality and local court system. I have been practicing law in Mercer County and the surrounding areas since 1994, handling cases involving:
- Shoplifting
- Assault
- Theft
- Minor drug offenses
- Underage drinking
- Harassment
- Disorderly conduct
No Stone Left Unturned
To properly defend you or your child, it is vital that I gather all necessary evidence. That's why I use an experienced private investigator to locate information that is relevant to your situation. After acquiring all available evidence, I will evaluate the information and develop your defense strategy.
Disorderly persons offenses demand aggressive defense. That's why I insist on using a private investigator. What's why I proactively file motions, seeking to beat the charges before the case goes to trial. However, if your case does proceed to trial, I will be fully prepared to fight for you in the courtroom.
