Joseph D. Rotella - Expert New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyer

When you are arrested for a crime, you might be frightened, angry, embarrassed, or just confused. Without an experienced New Jersey criminal defense lawyer, you may not understand how to protect your rights. In Newark, crime law attorneys must be able to work quickly and aggressively to protect your rights.

My practice has been built on providing the zealous representation for my clients accused of a crime. I represent clients accused of drug crimes, sex crimes, internet crime, criminal fraud, white collar crimes, law enforcement and public service crimes, violent crimes, and other crimes such as DWI, DUI, and traffic violations.

Whether you have been accused of controlled dangerous substances, aggravated sexual assault, rape, statutory rape, DWI, DUI, healthcare fraud, or ID theft, you need a Newark crime law attorney who knows how to create the defense that is appropriate for your situation. With quick action, many clients can get their charges dropped, or greatly reduced, in order to protect themselves from the stress of a full trial. If an acceptable outcome cannot be reached at these early stages, you need a New Jersey criminal defense lawyer who has the experience and the qualifications to represent you in a criminal trial.

I am a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney. That indicates that the New Jersey Supreme Court considers me to be an expert in criminal cases. In addition to being well qualified to help you in a trial, my qualification allows me to be more aggressive during plea negotiations in order to get you a better deal. Prosecutors are aware that I will aggressively defend all of my clients at trial. Without that threat, they have little reason to make you a fair offer.

For more than 18 years, I have practiced as a Newark crime law attorney in federal courts, as well as state courts. Every criminal charge is a serious matter. Whether you are facing a suspended license for a DWI, or you are being charged with murder, you need a New Jersey criminal defense lawyer working hard to see that you get the proper result. In order to reduce the stress of a criminal charge, I keep my clients informed of the status of their cases.

In addition to representing adults facing criminal charges in the areas above, I have extensive experience representing juveniles accused of similar crimes, facing detention in juvenile facilities, or facing charges for which prosecutors are seeking to try the minor as an adult. The consequences of a criminal conviction can be high. Having an effective New Jersey criminal defense lawyer on your side could save you and your family from a lifetime of dealing with the aftereffects of an avoidable conviction.

If you are seeking representation for yourself, or if you are a parent seeking representation for your child who has just been arrested, please contact a Newark crime law attorney as soon as possible.

I am proud of my community. Ensuring that its citizens get a fair shake from the criminal justice system is important to me. Everyone deserves quality representation if they find themselves accused of a crime.

As a Newark crime law attorney, I have assisted clients from Irvington, Orange, East Orange, Nutley, Belleville, and Maplewood, as well as throughout the rest of Essex County.
