Freehold Criminal Defense Lawyers With Over 40 Years Experience

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, 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 732-702-0333..

Attorneys Representing You After A Violation Of Probation In New Jersey

If you are convicted of violating probation, you may be forced to complete the remainder of your sentence while incarcerated. To avoid such drastic consequences, it is important to have an attorney experienced in probation violation hearings who will advocate for your interests. As your defense law firm, our attorneys will aggressively advocate for your freedom. We will use our experience and knowledge of the criminal justice system to fight to keep you out of jail.

Understanding If Conditions Of Probation Were Violated

Probation may be ordered with various conditions. If any of these conditions are violated, your probation officer may revoke your probation. However, you are entitled to a hearing to determine if conditions of your probation or parole were actually violated. Frequently, conditions of probation involve:

• Staying out of jail (don’t get arrested for illegal conduct)
• Reporting regularly to your probation officer
• Reporting any contact information to your probation officer
• Paying necessary restitution or fines
• Getting a job (and keeping it)
• Submitting to regular or unannounced drug testing
• Submitting to drug counseling or treatment
