Englewood Disorderly Persons Defense Lawyer
Disorderly Persons Defense in Bergen County
Disorderly persons offenses are the most commonly given charges for minor, non-motor vehicle crimes and are usually handled in municipal court in New Jersey. Disorderly persons charges carry a maximum penalty of six months in jail and $1,000 in fines. While these charges may not seem like they mean much, they will appear on your record. This will affect your ability to get a job, as you are required to inform a potential employer of any arrests, as well as your ability to apply for school.
You need a skilled lawyer to protect your rights and keep you out of jail. Call Alan M. Liebowitz, Esq., LLC at (201) 340-9338 for results-driven criminal defense.
