Experienced Criminal Lawyer in Gloucester Township, NJ Will Create the Best Legal Defense for Your Case

Each case is distinct and has its own set of facts and laws. However, the burden of proof must be met beyond a reasonable doubt before you may be found guilty. Our skilled Gloucester Township criminal defense attorney has a number of strategies to challenge the prosecution's evidence and refute their claims. Here are a few illustrations:

• Prove Your Innocence: We will gather information to support your innocence in order to prove it. This includes denials, testimonies from witnesses, visual evidence, etc. Additionally, we will refute the prosecution's evidence to demonstrate that it falls short of the standard needed for a conviction.
• Your Rights Were Violated: If we can show that the evidence against you was gathered unlawfully or that your rights were in some way violated during the proceedings against you, such as a violation of your constitutional right against illegal search and seizure or not being informed of your Miranda rights when you were arrested, we may be able to have your case dismissed.
• Acts of Self-Defense: In crimes involving some type of violence, such as assault, battery, abuse, domestic violence, and murder, this is a frequent yet very strong defense. We might be able to get the accusations against you for an illegal violent act dropped if we can show that you had to use legitimate self-defense to protect yourself or your property.
• Involuntary Intoxication: If you were intoxicated unintentionally or voluntarily, we can utilize this defense to show that you lacked the necessary intent to commit the crime, which will allow the charges against you to be dropped.
• Accidents: This defense is occasionally used as a defense in financial crimes, for instance, when the defendant performed acts or used money they thought they had permission to use but didn't, and as a result accidentally or unknowingly committed a crime by doing so while having no intention to break the law or harm anyone.
• Coercion and Duress: If we can prove that you were compelled or under duress to conduct a crime against your will, we can raise this defense.
• Statute of Limitations Expiration: If the applicable statute of limitations, or the time period during which charges can be made against you, has passed, you cannot be prosecuted for a crime.
