Criminal Defense Attorney In New Jersey

We Fight For Your Rights

At Thomas DeMarco & Associates, we understand that being involved in a criminal case is a stressful and life-changing experience. New Jersey's criminal justice system can be complex, and knowing your rights and options is essential to navigating it effectively.


As a defendant in a New Jersey criminal case, you have certain rights guaranteed by both the U.S. Constitution and New Jersey state laws. These rights include:

  • The right to remain silent: You do not have to speak to law enforcement or prosecutors without your attorney present.
  • The right to an attorney: If you cannot afford an attorney, the court will provide one for you.
  • The right to a fair trial: You are entitled to a jury trial, where a jury of your peers will determine your guilt or innocence based on the evidence presented.
  • The right to confront witnesses: You can cross-examine witnesses who testify against you.
  • The right to present evidence and witnesses: You can provide evidence and call witnesses in your defense.


We are here to provide you with experienced legal representation and ensure you receive the best possible defense.

The Criminal Justice Process in new jersey

The criminal justice process in New Jersey involves several stages, each of which can have significant impacts on the outcome of your case:

  1. Arrest: When law enforcement has probable cause to believe you committed a crime, they may place you under arrest.
  2. Pre-Trial: This stage includes your first appearance before a judge, bail hearings, and pre-trial motions. Your attorney may seek to have evidence excluded or charges reduced during this time.
  3. Plea Bargaining: In some cases, we may negotiate with the prosecutor to resolve the case without going to trial by agreeing to a lesser charge or reduced sentence.
  4. Trial: If your case goes to trial, both sides will present evidence and witnesses to either prove or disprove the charges against you.
  5. Sentencing: If convicted, the court will impose a sentence, which may include jail time, fines, community service, probation, or other penalties.
  6. Appeals: If there were errors in the trial process, we may be able to appeal the conviction or sentence to a higher court.
