If you have been summoned to appear in Hunterdon County Superior Court in connection with a complaint for a criminal offense, you are most likely facing charges for an indictable felony, which may be classified as a first, second, third, or fourth degree crime. These offenses can range from burglary, to terroristic threats, to possession of heroin, and may entail penalties ranging from 18 months to life in New Jersey State Prison. Once these charges are filed, your case is transferred to the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office for review, after which it may be downgraded, diverted, dismissed, or presented to a grand jury at Hunterdon County Superior Court for an indictment.
Your Pre-Indictment Conference is likely your first appearance in Superior Court, before the evidence is presented to a 23-person panel that is tasked with deciding if sufficient evidence exists to formally charge you. If they do so, your case will either be resolved through a negotiated plea agreement, enrollment in a diversionary program such as Pre-Trial Intervention, or a full trial where the jury ultimately decides your fate. In order to effectively navigate through the complex process necessary to resolve your legal matter, it is critical to identify and enlist an experienced legal advocate who can ensure that you are thoroughly protected. Understanding the legal avenues which may be available to you will allow you to make informed, confident decisions with your future in mind.
