Criminal Offenses in New Jersey

Bhatt Law Group has been representing people throughout New Jersey for over a decade. We know that being charged with a crime can be devastating. You may be worried about criminal penalties as well as how this will affect your future. You don’t have to deal with this situation alone. We can help.

Types of criminal offenses we handle include:

  • DUI Offenses Although DUI offenses in New Jersey are dealt with under the motor vehicle code as opposed to the state criminal code, penalties can be harsh. You may be facing large monetary fines, driver’s license suspension, and even incarceration. Whether it’s your first DUI or you’ve had multiple, you need a seasoned defense attorney on your side.
  • Drug Charges New Jersey is strict on drugs. Consequences range from probation to serious time in prison. Don’t gamble on your future. Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney with Bhatt Law Group to find out how we can help you.
  • Assault Charges Violent crimes can lead to serious criminal penalties. If you are being accused of assault, battery, or a similar crime, contact us today so that we can begin creating your defense strategy.
  • Theft Charges Theft can result in both criminal and civil penalties. The degree of charge depends on the amount stolen, whether a weapon was used, and other specific circumstances of the crime. We will compassionately listen to your side of the story and make sure the prosecutors, the judge, and the jury hear it as well.
  • Burglary Charges Stealing from a residence or other structure can result in serious penalties because of the potential risk to any people inside. If you’ve been charged with burglary, you need a knowledgeable Jersey City criminal attorney to represent your rights in court.
  • Harassment Charges Although harassment is typically a low-level (de minimis) infraction, the specific circumstances of the crime can result in severe penalties. If you’re being charged with harassment or a related crime, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney who will make sure your rights are respected throughout the investigation and justice process.
  • Property Crimes Allegations involving criminal behavior on someone’s property can be disturbing for victims as well as the person being accused. Bhatt Law Group has represented countless people who have been charged with arson, vandalism, trespassing, and related crimes. Contact us today to find out how we can help you.
  • Traffic Offenses Traffic tickets, which are dealt with under the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Code, can have harsh consequences. Although not considered “crimes,” they can still result in large monetary fines and other penalties. We will help you navigate the complex legal system so you can move past a traffic offense.
  • Public Nuisance Crimes Public nuisance crimes are those that have an impact on the general public or take place in a public place. If you’ve been charged with disorderly conduct, public intoxication, public urination, disturbing the peace, or another public nuisance, contact us to defend your rights today.

Alright! These guys are amazing. I was devastated when I got a three tickets in New Jersey with 12 points in total and fines adding up over $1K. The officer was truly rude, unfair and just took out his bad day on me. At this point I had no idea what to do but I must find some legal help to fight this in court. After getting the tickets, I called a bunch of different law groups trying to see who can help me with this. I was able to talk to many of them and mostly all of them seemed like they wanted to see how much they can get out of me before even hearing out what my concerns where. Then I got around to calling Bhatt Law Group and I was welcome by this lady (whose name I don't know) and she was amazing. She listened and helped me be calm and gave me assurance I am in good hands. She offer pricing and it seemed very reasonable too. I made my payment and then I didn't have anything to worry about till the day of the virtual court. They figured out all my court dates and managed everything on the back end. They would give me updates on what the process is up to. Funny story, on the day of my virtual court session I overslept thinking my court time was at 11 am instead of 9 am and I had my attorney Devin Baer even giving me a call to get me out of bed to attend the zoom. I don't know how many attorneys would do that for their client. Devin was very helpful, professional and understanding. He gave me a call prior to my court session and gave important pointers and even through out the court session he made me feel confident and assure that everything will be okay. So these guys were friendly, helpful and professional but where there any results? OH YEAH! I was able to lower my fines and points to barely nothing. These guys are life savers and will help you legally in any situation where you have been treated unfairly. Thank you Bhatt Law.
