Criminal Defense Attorneys in New Jersey
Afonso & Archie, P.C. represents people charged with offenses in federal, state and municipal court. Our attorneys bring several decades of combined courtroom experience to those matters.
How We Approach a Criminal Case
- Every case is different and requires individual attention and evaluation.
- Representation from the very outset matters. What happens at the beginning of a case often sets the stage for everything that follows.
- Where a negotiated resolution serves the client, we pursue it. Where trial is the better course, we are prepared to try the case.
- The choice between a plea and a trial belongs to the client. Our job is to make sure that choice is an informed one.
Appeals and Post-Conviction Relief
Over the course of a criminal case, whether it resolves in a plea or a trial, any number of things can go wrong. A judge may have decided a motion or an objection incorrectly, the process may have been faulty, or a prior attorney may have been ineffective. A case can be presented to the Appellate Division for review, which requires a careful look at the full record and a precise written presentation to the court.
