    Common Defenses to Criminal Charges in Millville and throughout NJ

    Defending against criminal charges might involve denying guilt, but it might also involve attacking the actions of law enforcement when they gathered evidence against you, and breaking apart the prosecution’s case. The constitution provides robust protections for criminal defendants, but the right strategy will depend on the specific facts involved in your case. 

    Suppose investigators violated your rights through an improper search and seizure, failure to read your Miranda rights, or other technical failures. In that case, your lawyer may be able to exclude evidence those investigators collected in violation of the law. However, if you do not assert the protections provided to you by the United States Constitution and New Jersey law, you may not benefit from your rights. 

    It takes compelling evidence to convict a person of a crime. If our lawyers can exclude some evidence because of the police engaging in wrongful actions, prosecutors may lack what they need to convict you. Even without violations on the part of investigators, prosecutors may not have a strong enough case against you. 

    You have likely heard of the term ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’. Beyond a reasonable doubt is the strictest evidentiary standard in American law. The burden on the prosecution is a challenging one. Our case strategy might be to argue that the prosecution cannot effectively prove each element of the crime with which they charged you. 

    There are also cases where you might admit that you did commit criminal actions but that you only committed those actions for a good reason. Imagine that you are facing domestic violence charges. If your significant other attacked you, and you responded in self-defense, you would have what is known as an ‘affirmative defense’. There are many forms of affirmative defenses. Our trusted Millville criminal defense lawyers can evaluate your case to determine whether one applies.

    There will be cases where the evidence against you is strong and persuasive. We may advise negotiating for a lesser sentence in those scenarios. Sometimes, entering a plea bargain may help you avoid some of the harsher possible sentencing terms that you face. However, you should never choose to negotiate a plea bargain without having representation from an experienced Millville criminal defense lawyer.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Criminal Defense in Millville, NJ

    Defending against criminal charges is intimidating. You likely have questions about your case.

    FAQ: Can My Lawyer Defend Me If They Know That I Am Guilty?

    Yes, your lawyer can defend you even if they know that you committed a crime. Your lawyer’s job will be to ensure that the prosecution must work to obtain a conviction. The fact that your lawyer knows that you are guilty will not prevent them from vigorously defending you against the charges you are facing. Even if your attorney is aware that you committed the crime, their job is to protect your rights and fight for the best possible resolution in your case. 

    The law protects your communications with your lawyer. The attorney-client privilege means that you can talk to your lawyer without fear of those communications going back to the court or anyone else. There are certain exceptions because your lawyer cannot conceal physical evidence on your behalf or keep silent regarding a crime you plan to commit.

    FAQ: Can I Expunge My Conviction?

    Convicts can expunge many convictions from their records, but certain crimes will not qualify for expungement. Severe crimes such as homicide, sex crimes, robbery, arson, and some other offenses will remain on your record.

    If you can expunge a crime on your record, it is often worthwhile to take this action. Expunging a crime from your record will mean that if you apply for a job, your potential employer will not be able to see a record of that crime. There are many other benefits to expunging a crime, including improving your credit and being able to enlist in the military.
