Types of criminal offenses

In the State of New Jersey there are two types of “crimes” that a person can be charged with. In the Municipal Court, these offenses are called Petty Disorderly Persons Offenses or Disorderly Persons Offenses. In the Superior Court at the county level, these offenses are characterized as Indictable Crimes. These types of offenses are more serious in nature and are graded as a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th degree crimes. Often people refer to less serious matters in the Municipal Court as being a “misdemeanor” and more serious matters at the County Level as being a “Felony.” Regardless of what you call these offenses, your liberty and freedom are at stake and you deserve to have someone fighting for you to challenge charges that are pending against you.

It is important to know your legal rights and the defenses that you may have available to you. As I am sure you know, some of the offenses for which you are being charged carry various penalties including, but not limited to, high fines, loss of license, incarceration, probation and/or could result in you having a criminal record. You certainly deserve to know all of the possible outcomes and legal defenses for what you are being charged.
