Defending Individuals' Rights Since 1955
Anyone charged with a crime in Woodbridge needs the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer. The Woodbridge Municipal Court handles crimes that can result in substantial jail time and expensive fines. Convictions can mean a criminal record that can last a lifetime, damage to a person’s reputation, and often, serious civil consequences as well, such as difficulty in getting employment.
The law firm of Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC represents clients in the Woodbridge Municipal Court who have been charged with the following crimes.
Theft charges include stealing cash, credit card theft, identity theft, and shoplifting. Theft of items valued under $200 is a municipal offense. Theft of $200 or more, or theft that includes robbery, grand theft, or crimes involving physical force, is usually an indictable offense. The amount of prison time and the fines depend on the value of the items taken and any additional factors, such as the use of force. If convicted, the defendant will usually be ordered to return the items or pay the value.
There are defenses an experienced Woodbridge criminal defense lawyer will explore, such as whether there was intent to steal, the actual value of the items taken, and questions about where and how the theft occurred.
Resisting arrest can be classified as a disorderly person crime or an indictable offense, depending on several factors, including whether flight was involved, a vehicle was used, or if the person being arrested used force. Our aim is to dismiss the charge or to show that the offense should be handled in a municipal court. We may assert defenses such as a mistake in communication rather than actual resistance.
Woodbridge is a known speed trap, and this court hears thousands of speeding ticket cases each year. An attorney can help you beat some of the more serious traffic violations, such as reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, and more.
Some of the other municipal court offenses our firm undertakes include:
Every defendant has the right to assert a defense and to confront, in court, any witnesses against them. Experienced criminal defense lawyers leave no stone unturned. Possible defenses may include:

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.
Several lawyers at the law firm of Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group, PC, have prior experience as prosecutors in municipal courts. This initial work experience greatly helps defense lawyers, as they then gain a deeper understanding of the arguments and mindset of prosecutors. The more a criminal defense lawyer can anticipate the prosecution’s statements, the better they can prepare defenses and formulate compelling counterarguments. As former prosecutors, our lawyers have a better feel than other lawyers for when prosecutors might be willing to enter into a plea agreement.
One of our attorneys, Christopher G. Aiello, exemplifies how prior litigation experience can be a valuable asset. His record of success includes numerous cases where he successfully obtained a dismissal of criminal charges, a fair plea arrangement, or an alternative disposition, such as enrolling the client in a pre-trial intervention program.
