Former Prosecutor and Criminal Defense Lawyer
The Borough of Garwood is an emerging New Jersey suburb. Recent developments include a luxury condominium complex within walking distance of the local train station. The train offers easy access to the city, and commuters appreciate the convenience of this advantageously located municipality. Garwood is within thirty minutes of NYC, and the area itself offers great restaurants and bars. However, as veritable suburb of NYC, Garwood and the surrounding townships have very active police departments. The lawyers at the Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall defend those charged or arrested for criminal and traffic offenses, including DWI and drug possession, in Garwood. Our attorneys understand the way that an arrest or issuance of traffic summons can complicate your life. We also know that the repercussions do not necessarily end at the courtroom doors. Continued obligations to the state can affect an individual’s ability to obtain employment, borrow money, obtain a license, etc. If you have been arrested, charged, or issued a ticket in Garwood, call our offices today to speak with a criminal defense lawyer who will gladly answer all of your questions. As always, initial consultations are free. An attorney will take the time to explain the nature of the charges against you, the penalties, and the available defenses.
