Criminal law is the system of rules that govern what is classified as a crime and the punishments for those crimes. Federal, state, and local governments all have their own penal codes that explain these crimes in detail as well as how the legal system can prosecute these crimes. In New Jersey there are disorderly persons offenses and indictable offenses. Some offenses are prosecuted in the local municipal courts and others are prosecuted in the Superior Court. It is important to know where your case will be prosecuted and what are the potential penalties associated with the offense you have been charged with.
The simple answer to this question is yes; you need a lawyer when you get divorced. Even if you feel that the split between your spouse will be amicable, it is essential to have an attorney who is looking out for your best interests. Our legal team will ensure you are protected and that you receive your fair share as the assets and a fair amount of spousal and child support.
A joint custody arrangement is an agreement that allows both parents to share legal and physical custody of their children after a divorce. The parents are allowed to come up with a custody schedule that works best for each of them and the needs of the children. However, if a schedule cannot be agreed upon by both parties, the court will order one. In many joint custody arrangements, the children will alternate weeks at each parent’s residence, or they may spend weekdays with one parent and weekends with the other. There may be a separate schedule for holidays and other special occasions. Joint legal custody allows each parent to be involved in making important medical, educational, and religious decisions for the children.
Whether you are the buyer or the seller, real estate transactions are very complex and require knowledge of the complicated real estate laws of your state, county, and municipality. Even though real estate attorneys are not required in the state of New Jersey, it is very important to hire one to ensure that your interests as a buyer or seller are protected throughout the process and to answer any questions you may have about the process. Having an experienced lawyer on your side will ensure the transaction runs more efficiently. Although title companies can assist buyers, they do not assist with legal issues nor can they prepare legal documents for either seller or buyer.
Bankruptcy is a legal process that provides relief for those individuals who have accumulated enough debt that they are no longer able to make their monthly payments. Individuals who file for bankruptcy may receive relief from some or all of their debts. However, certain criteria must be met, and certain rules will be put in place for you following the bankruptcy. It has a significant effect on your credit score and should only be used as a last resort. Whether to file depends on your unique financial situation; if you feel your debt is getting out of control, reach out to our team and we can help you determine the best path forward.
A statute of limitations is the maximum amount of time allowed for a victim or government to initiate legal proceedings after an alleged offense. For example, if a person is believed to have committed a burglary in New Jersey, the statute of limitations for this charge requires that legal action be taken within five years of the incident. Statutes of limitations vary depending on the severity of the crime, with the most serious charges, like murder, having no time limit. How long a case takes to reach trial varies with the caseload of the jurisdiction, but most often cases do not go to trial for several months so that all sides can prepare their arguments and gather evidence.
