Aggressively Fighting For Your Rights

Criminal Defense Lawyers in Freehold, NJ

In our criminal justice system, you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, and there is a presumption that, because of the jury process, a fair and just result will come. Unfortunately, as we repeatedly learn in real life, the criminal justice system can be anything but just. Prosecutors start with considerable advantages, including the power and resources of the Government, a tendency of many potential jurors to instinctively trust prosecutors and police officers, and a judicial system which can favor the prosecution.

The language can seem foreign at times, and the rules often seem designed to benefit only the prosecution. Without strong, skilled and knowledgeable criminal defense counsel, you can quickly find yourself in deep trouble. We can help. If you face charges in Superior Court stemming from a criminal arrest, you need a determined defense lawyer working for you.

At The Law Office of Mallon, Tranger & Budzek, we have fought for the rights of criminal defendants for more than 40 years. We advocate aggressively for people who face criminal charges, carefully explaining the law and the process, as well as your likelihood of success, so that you can make good decisions about how you want to proceed. All of our clients receive a free initial consultation. To set up a meeting, contact us by email or call us at 732-780-0230.
