Freehold Criminal Defense Lawyers

Experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys For Clients Charged With First, Second, Third & Fourth Degree Crimes at the Monmouth County Superior Court

Many people who consult our Freehold Law Firm face their first criminal offense; others are admittedly repeat offenders. Irrespective of a client’s prior experience with the criminal justice system in New Jersey, facing a felony criminal offense in Freehold at the Superior Court level can be intimidating. Indeed, failure to avoid a conviction exposes an individual to a prison term of 10-20 years for a first-degree crime, 5-10 years for a second-degree crime, 3-5 years for a third-degree crime, and up to 18 months for a fourth-degree crime. A guilty plea or loss at trial will also result in a criminal record that will negatively impact an individual’s ability to secure employment, obtain a professional license (e.g. nursing, CPA, real estate, law, doctor, pharmacy, etc.), and even remain in the United States if you aren’t a citizen. Stakes that are extreme as these absolutely require representation from the best Freehold criminal lawyers you can find. This is certainly the level of service provided by the members of our law office.

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall have been handling assault, sex crimes, theft, domestic violence, drugs, gun and weapons offenses, white collar, and other criminal charges, at the Superior Court level for decades. Our Freehold criminal defense attorneys understand the dynamics of effectively defending indictable criminal charges and the important players in the court system, the prosecutors’ office, and the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office to reach a favorable outcome. These attributes haven’t come overnight and were built working 20 plus years at the courthouse and as prosecutors there.

There isn’t a doubt this unique experience allows our criminal lawyers to secure downgrades of criminal offenses and lighter sentences, more frequent admission into Pretrial Intervention, Drug Court, a higher incident of Graves Act Waivers, and denial of a Motion for Pretrial Detention. Monmouth County prosecutors have worked with the attorneys at law for years and truly consider our suggestions regarding alternative charges, sentencing, or diversion more often than might otherwise be expected. They trust our intentions because they have seen us handle cases in Freehold and other Monmouth County municipalities, Superior Court in Freehold, and other New Jersey courtrooms.
