I needed a lawyer familiar with our SJ townships, and did not want a firm filled with associates who cared about billable hours. Mike met with me and cared about my situation. He represented me, defended me, counseled me to the best possible outcome ! He set a strategy that was brilliant and took away the court appearance anxiety.

WOW! I got myself in some serious trouble. I had 1st and 2nd degree charges. Thankfully my parents found fantastic lawyers at the firm of Robert's and Teeters. It was a long 5 years dealing with this case. I immediately said to them I want to take this case to trial and they gave me the full confidence from the beginning. Due to the pandemic the case was prolonged for so long but I'm 100% satisfied with this firm. Matt and Mike are the perfect team. They work together so smooth and it's actually entertaining watching them consult eachother about certain situations. Mike is very knowledgeable and Matt is simply a great talker in court. They don't leave any stones unturned. They never give up any battle and at the same time are prepared for any outcome. They aren't the type to lie to you. They tell you upfront the risks of any decisions beforehand. They even worked with us for the payments. All around great lawyers and I see them doing great things for others. I ended up finally winning the trial and got all charges acquitted. I will definitely recommend them to anyone in need of professional and honest lawyers. I'm truly blown away by Matt's performance in the court room. I'm so happy with everything and he is truly an angel sent from heaven. He puts his heart in to his work and faught for me as if we were family. I'll never forget this!...Don't hesitate to use these guys. Their names will go big very soon!

Great to work with! I had a case in Middlesex County. There was a specific outcome I hoped for. Matthew Teeter laid out how the case would go, gave me the best and worst case scenario, he set me up with realistic goals and expectations, and he even gave me advice on what to do after the case to help with the outcome. When attending court, I was kept in the loop when I needed to be, and given proper instructions and guidance for each step of the way. In doing so, he earned me the exact positive result that I had hoped for. If I find a need for an attorney in the future, I will plan on reach out for his services again.

When I found James, one of the first things he mentioned to me on the phone was that it was his job to worry about my case now, and I should do my best to put it out of my mind. That comment alone turned my entire state of mind around lifting the stress and anxiety that had been weighing on me. James was excellent at communicating, explaining, and in getting me the best results possible. I would absolutely recommend his services if you are in need.

I hired James a year ago to represent me in a matter against an individual who was using the criminal justice system to stalk and harass me. My case was a difficult, complicated and emotional case, dealing with an individual who was not emotionally stable. From the beginning, James was the right lawyer for the job. He didn't over-promise, but he handled my case with sensitivity, while, at the same time, was amazingly strategic in how to plan my case. James prepared diligently for my case and got me the exact result that I needed, But, what was most important to me, was not only that he got me the result that I needed, but how he treated me throughout the year. James ALWAYS took or returned my phone calls immediately. James always answered my emails. James ALWAYS made me feel like my case mattered to him, and like I mattered to him as a client and a person. I always knew he had my back and that he truly was putting 1000% into fighting my case. I would unequivocally recommend James to ANYONE who needs an excellent criminal defense attorney who will go the extra mile, who will fight like hell for you, and will never make you feel like you're in it by yourself. He is truly the best criminal defense attorney in New Jersey.

Keith Oliver is an excellent lawyer who cares for his clients. As soon as I placed a request online for some questions about my case, he immediately texted me back while I was at work during my nightshift and we had a conversation on what to expect going forward. Right there I knew that he was the right lawyer for the job. He could of just waited until the next day or two to call me back, yet because of his responsiveness to my situation, I hired him. He stuck by my side through the long drawn out process which was out of our control. Whether your situation is big or small, Keith will fight tooth and nail for you. His straight to the point attitude and aggressive nature will ease your mind knowing that you hired the right lawyer for your particular situation. Give him a chance and call him, you won't be disappointed. Keith is a great lawyer. He's my super lawyer! Google him and you will see his background of accomplishments and achievements. Hopefully I won't get into a situation like this again, but if I do you are number one on my contact list. Thanks for being by my side for two and a half years. Until next time my freind and best wishes for success at your firm.

My case was a very difficult family case with lots of fails on the justice system but Julie fought very hard to get us peace and justice. The system threw every curve ball but she never quit pushing for us. She always kept me informed and made sure I understood what was going on. We needed an emergency protective order on a Friday Julie got it taken care of and took time to call me at almost 9pm just to give me peace of mind. I really value the advice she gives and it has helped many ways legally and teaching me how to handle situations.

To make a VERY long story short, I hired a well known Ocean Country defense law firm who's modo was that the whole firm was behind me. Again they were supposedly the best in Ocean County. They're website looked like they could represent OJ Simpson, it was so professional even a bit intimidating, at the time I new I needed the best so I hired them. The attorney who was assigned to me, wanted me to plead guilty to a petty shoplifting charge on the very first appearance and this was also my first criminal offense. That law firm charged me a large fee so there was no way I was simply pleading guilty, otherwise what did I even hire them for? I fired that lawyer on spot in front of the judge, and the court granted me another month to find a new lawyer. Thankfully I found Steve who helped me get this charge dropped to a non-criminal ordinance which was what I needed to continue as a nursing student. When I initially called Steve I was in panic, he told me to relax and we would figure this out and that's exactly what he did. I would recommend Steve to anyone seeking legal representation. I will be calling Steve again soon to help me with a record expungement. PS. Steves fee is fair and he will help you with arrangements if needed.

Ms. Haywood was by far the most experienced, aggressive and capable lawyer around. Trust me, we spent weeks interviewing many lawyers. We chose Katheryn because frankly she came off as no nonsense and eager to get justice. Her demeanor put my family at ease. That meant a lot to us because we needed a lawyer who was not going to promise us one thing and deliver another. She was honest and up front from the beginning. We needed someone who could call a situation what it was, had contacts all over Collin and Dallas county, and decades of dealing with these type of cases and difficult people under her belt. She had all of that and came with a true passion for our case. We could not have asked for a better attorney in the darkest hour of need. If you need an attorney, look no further.

She is very intelligent and clearly has a lot of experience. She gave us advice and we followed it.

A year ago my life was turned upside down. I was charged with an extremely serious crime and knew the burden of proof would be on me to prove my innocence. I was absolutely lost, I had been arrested at my work, I was embarrassed and in jail and needing quick and expert help. My wife had contacted Bail Bonds man Pat Kinnard and he referred me to Attorney Katheryn Haywood. Immediately after our first consultation I knew that she would be on my side. She picked me up when I was at my absolute lowest and carried me through the entire process. She was a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on and a sympathetic ear to listen. She literally saved my life, a year later and the felony charges were dismissed. I will never be able to pay Katheryn back for what she did for me and my family. Now for the first time in 12 months I can go to sleep without the fear that I may lose everything tomorrow and I have her to thank for that. Thank you Katheryn.

I was arrested and taken to jail with a DWI . I’ve never had any convictions or been in that situation before so everything was new to me. Not only to mention I’m a DACA holder, so everything and anything could hurt my status.As a young adult is hard to be taken serious due to our age.We still want this matter taken care off the best way possible because our future is on the line. Efrain was very professional and what I like to call “ The Goat” he took care of business. After going to court for almost 1.5 yrs he always made sure I knew everything was going to be handle in the best way possible. And finally it did, my DWI was dropped to a lesser charge and I was able to keep my DACA. I don’t just consider Efrain and his staff as my attorney, they became family because they understood how overwhelming and nerve wrecking being put in this position was and they made sure to facilitate everything. His staff was always one call away so any questions I had they were answered quickly. Thank You so much Efrain..

My case was quite difficult due to my immigration status. Although I am in the process of fixing through my wife, probation was a risky option.

He was very sincere in listening to my story for a long time on the phone and he didn't mind back and forth anytime if I have to get hold of him. Each time, he gave me such good information about the legal procedures and what would be the best route for me.

At first I was very worried that there was no hope for my case or situation. But without fail John has been there every step of the way with me easing my anxiety and reassuring me that he’ll get the best outcome. He’s kind and patient and has taken his time to explain every detail of the case and the defense. He even had a meeting with family members to dismiss their worry. He was very caring and took my case seriously and although I doubted that the case could get dismissed he made that happen. My case was completely dismissed and I could not be more grateful for the work and time Mr. Cromwell has put into this. I had a DUI case that was dismissed.

At a time when our family was going down an uncharted territory facing a very difficult task of dealing with the challenges of our loved one facing very serious charges, we began our search for legal representation. The prospect of losing our loved one to the criminal justice system was a reality where our son was facing being charged with two Class C Felonies and potentially serving a maximum sentence of 60-years. Facing such serious charges, we knew that it was crucial in finding the right attorney to not only represent but also believe in our son, recognizing that he was a young man who made a very bad decision but willing to fight to provide him a second opportunity in life. During our very first conversation, we knew Attorney Ohiku was the right person to represent our son. Attorney Ohiku truly embodies, “Caring for the Whole Person”, as from day one he showed true compassion. Attorney Ohiku throughout the entire process was very straightforward, readily assessible and very responsive. It was through Attorney Ohiku’ s hard work, experience and professionalism that ultimately led to one charge being dismissed and that ensured our son received both a fair and favorable outcome. Our family will always be forever grateful for his guidance and dedication. Attorney Odalo Joseph Ohiku is a true blessing.

A family friend called me distraught several months ago. Their son - young, well behaved, never before in trouble with the law - had been accused of a serious offense. The police were investigating. The family did not speak English and needed help finding a lawyer and interpreting. I had no idea what lawyer to suggest. Some I called requested astronomical hourly rates. By grace, I found and suggested Mr. Meryhew. Mr. Meryhew was fair minded in his fee structure, skilled in relating to people even those from a different culture, and a good lawyer. We received good news this morning that the young man is no longer under investigation and the allegations against him were found to be groundless. Thank you to Mr. Meryhew for being an excellent intermediary with the police and for consoling the family with patience during a moment of profound crisis.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Brad. It was one of the toughest time in our life. Our son's life was in his hands and my wife and I trusted him. Brad is honest, precise, willing to take time to explain us everything in detail and believing in our son. We know we made the right choice to select his office. Brad and his staff are trustworthy, professional and committed. In the courtroom Brad was excellent presenting the case in a professional and thoroughly prepared manner. Words can not express our deep gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding. We could not ask for any better. If you are in need of legal service look no further.

I had the pleasure of working with Scott Lawrence for my DUI case and I couldn't be more grateful for his representation. Not only did he win my trial, but his knowledge of the details and his negotiation skills were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome. He was able to navigate the complex legal system with ease and always had my best interests in mind. One of the things I appreciated most about working with Mr. Lawrence was his commitment to keeping me informed and updated throughout the entire process. He always made sure I understood the progress of my case and was available to answer any questions I had. I never felt in the dark or uncertain about my case with him on my side. If you're in need of a DUI attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Lawrence. His expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail are second to none. He truly is the best in the business and I'm grateful for all that he did for me.

A big portion of my job involves driving, so when I recently received a traffic infraction I decided to look into options rather than just “lying down” and allowing it to go onto my driving record. I reached out to Mr. Lawrence and I am extremely glad I did. After reaching out and paying the retainer, he assured me that “he had it handled from here”. Everything went extremely smooth. He was always quick to respond to any questions I had and he kept me in the loop with what was going on with my case. He went to court and represented me, I didn’t even have to go at all… and the best part is, he got my ticket totally dismissed!! What more could I ask for? I would recommend him to anyone looking to be represented, and if I ever need his assistance again in the future ( *knock on wood* hopefully I don’t!!), I will definitely be reaching back out to him. Thanks again Mr Lawrence!!!! YOU ROCK!

Diane helped me in the worst time of my life. After being an abusive relationship i found myself in need of her service. She advocated for me and also helped me through everything. I will forever be grateful for her help. If you want a truly caring and amazing lawyer who will listen, do everything in her power for you, communicate well, and not just care about the money, you need Diane. I don’t think everything would have been done and over if it wasn’t for her. Thank you Diane did everything.

Diane is absolutely the best! I had gotten into some serious legal trouble a couple years back and was given a public defender. After consulting with the public defender and a few other attorneys I was told the outcome would be bleak. I was blessed to stumble across her profile and eventually hire her. It was the best decision I could have made as she fought hard for me and armed with her wealth of knowledge was able to get my case dismissed!!

Mark has assisted with me with two cases. From the beginning of each there were problems he was able to quickly assist resolving. (bailing out of jail and removing an arrest warrent). For each case he was able to layout out my options and he was able obtain the best possible outcome. The first was a plea to fines, probation and no jail time (was facing 10+ years). The second was dismissed. Marks knowledge of the law and court system was key in getting the results I needed. Mark and his staff kept me updated and had great communication during both cases.

At Blair and Kim I found the legal representation I was looking for after many years. They did not only take on and get a guilty verdict vacated, but also cleaned up a couple other items on my record. Mark Blair is a talented, honest and experienced lawyer. Mark and his staff were available on a daily basis and responded directly to my questions promptly and professionally. They showed their best at all times. I would recommend and refer this firm to anyone seeking true professional legal assistance.

Called 3 other lawyers before finding Bill who showed no concern or interest. I left Bill a message and he got back with me even after business hours. Showed concern and empathy and he even went above and beyond and had my issue taken care of within 24hrs. Answered all my questions and phone calls promptly. Real genuine guy. Thanks again

I had the privilege of having Mr. Bill Gallagher, as well as his colleague Kara Blackney, investigate a serious criminal legal matter, on my behalf during the preliminary pre-Indictment stages, with their expertise they were prepared to represent me, come what may. The matter was quashed by the grand jury, but their support, legal knowledge and preparedness comforted me along the way. When one could be facing loss of liberty, these attorneys understand this severity and commit themselves with all their resolve to working for their client's legal defense.

Ms Carey is the consummate professional. I hugely regret not switching attorneys when another (medical) professional suggested I do so after I had retained an attorney and was in the throes of the challenges of securing legally entitled services for my child. I consulted with her, and she was kind, compassionate, and responsive. A great listener. She cared about my child more than my money. I ultimately decided not to switch which was a mistake, and I may still end up retaining her. She seems to be the best: smart, focused on what is best for child (not her wallet or ego), and wise in the ways of SPS. Do not repeat my mistake if SPS is making it hard to get what your child is legally entitled to.

I've met quite a few lawyers in my life (some who I feel ripped me off), and I have to say Ann is one of the kindest and most generous lawyers I have met. She's extremely intelligent and truly knowledgeable in the areas she advertises--and others such as divorce. Ann is also doing my will. I honestly think she could handle any type of case... Ann also has excellent assistants who are knowledgeable and caring, and give you a warm feeling. Ann did some pro-bono work for me, and I didn't have to ask! I got more than I paid for. Needless to say, I was pleasantly shocked. Ann has also helped children. Hiring Ann gave me confidence once again in lawyers. Try her out first--you won't be sorry.

Ann Carey helped make very complex legal issues clear. She had to read through enormous amounts of angry writing from my former husband that was laced with illogical language. She helped me keep calm and carry on. She knew when to wait and when to use the legal system. I trust her completely and am grateful for her help.

Cory was with me every step of the way. My license was suspended and he dealt with the court and then on several occasions had to deal with the Department of Motor Vehicles (which is not easy). He kept me updated, which was a blessing during this difficult time and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Cory.

I can’t Thank Dave Kramer enough for defending me on my case! My ex falsely accused me of domestic violence and my Kids were my witnesses. Police didn’t want to listen to me, Plus they wouldn’t interview my kids. Worse part My ex attacked me! Police will never really listen to us men! Even though my kids said to the officers my mom was lying! It didn’t matter at all. Dave Kramer fought for me and told me We will win this and you will get at least 50/50 custody, plus we will get these bogus charges dropped! I Prayed that I would be Free of these bogus charges and have my boys. At the end of the day, Dave kept his word I have my Boys 50/50 and proved my innocence. Charges Dropped! Thank you Dave! My Kids Thank you too!

I'd like to thank Mr. Kramer for all that he's done for me. His guidance and persistence compares to no other. When other lawyers gave up on me, he fought for my case and with a positive outcome I can honestly say I'm grateful to have retained him. Without a doubt I'd recommend Mr. Kramer to anyone facing legal problems.

I was charged DUI and was very much worried as a family man. After seeing Kramer’s experience and initial meet with him, I gained confidence but was very nervous until the case disposed. Kramer explained the process well and and given the clear options at every stage. Patience is the only key we should keep throughout the time. He changed my case to Reckless and made sure i am not receiving any other sentencing, he really made it. I would highly recommend him for any criminal charges and he would do wonders.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.

If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:

  • Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
  • Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
  • Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
  • School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
  • Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
  • Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
  • Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.

Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.

What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?

A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
  • Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
  • Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
  • Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
  • Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
  • Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.

How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?

Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
  • Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.

Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.

How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
  • Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.

Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.

Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer

Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline.
  5. Will you personally handle my child’s case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court.
  6. What rights does my child have?
    Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.

How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
  • School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
  • CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
  • Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
