Defending Individuals' Rights Since 1955
Being charged with a crime is a traumatic experience. Your freedom and reputation are at stake. If convicted, you may face imprisonment and substantial fines. The case against you will move quickly, so it is crucial to have legal counsel on your side from the initial bail hearing and preliminary hearing through the negotiation stage and the jury trial.
At Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC, our Middlesex County criminal lawyers have been helping those charged with crimes get justice for six decades. In many cases, we have secured acquittals for our clients or had charges dismissed before the case went to trial, thereby avoiding the need to present the case to an unpredictable jury for a decision. Our New Jersey criminal lawyers have received the respect and admiration of our peers, and many of our lawyers have been rated as experienced and trusted attorneys in the state.
Our Middlesex County criminal defense attorneys handle the following types of offenses:
In some cases, we are able to have a defendant’s criminal record expunged.
Case Study
The defendant was charged with several moving violations, including driving while intoxicated (D.W.I.) in violation of N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 and refusing to submit to a breath test in violation of N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.4a. The attorneys of Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC filed a motion to dismiss the refusal for failing to inform the defendant of all penalties.
Our Middlesex criminal defense attorneys are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have offices across the state. If you are arrested, we are ready to help you right away. Many of our lawyers are former prosecutors, so we understand the criminal justice system inside and out. We handle the full range of indictable and municipal offenses.
Municipal charges include:
These offenses, particularly traffic offenses and minor crimes, can cause significant harm. If convicted, violators can face county jail time and expensive fines. Traffic offenders may lose their license and will likely face costly insurance premium increases. They may have to pay surcharges, and will have a negative report on their driver’s license. Anyone convicted of drunk driving is looking at the possibility of jail time, the certainty of huge penalties and fines, and many indirect but costly expenses, such as higher insurance rates.
We also represent defendants who have been accused of more serious crimes, such as robbery, theft, and assault. These cases, when they occur in Perth Amboy, East Brunswick, Piscataway, or any other Middlesex County location, are transferred to the Superior Court of Middlesex County.
There are various types of defenses, depending on the charge, current law, the police’s performance of their duties, and the facts of the case.
Some common defenses are:
Breath tests, which are the most common way to analyze a drunk driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) can be challenged if the test machine, such as the Dräger Alcotest®, was not correctly calibrated, was misused, or if the test results are interpreted incorrectly. Breath machines must be routinely calibrated. Due to their complexity, officers must be certified before administering a breath test.
Speed radar guns, which are frequently used as the basis for issuing speeding tickets, must also be properly calibrated on a regular basis.
Additionally, we also argue that the charges should be reduced. For example, in speeding ticket cases, we often can negotiate an agreement with the police officer to reduce the points from four or five to two points.
At Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC, our Middlesex County defense lawyers prepare each case as if we were going to trial for you. In this way, we cover all the necessary legal arguments and research the key facts. Being fully prepared enables us to present our case to the jury effectively, argue for evidence to be dismissed, and gives us the best opportunity to arrange a satisfactory plea bargain.
