Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
Burglary charges
My brother who has prior convictions none for burglary is being charged with several counts of burglary charges. There is no physical evidence that puts him at the scence of the crime, only a testimony of a ''friend'' who was actually involved in the crimes. The testimony of this accomplice says she merely drove him and another person to the scene of the crime several times, but did not enter the homes. My brother does not have a good record at all and has had a history with drugs. His public defender seems very uninterested in his case and is reluctant to give me any information about his case. I want to know how could he be found guily with the only evidence is ''hearsay'' from a prior criminal? I may be interested in retaining an attorney for him at this time instead of using the public defender. Any insight would be great.

Re: Burglary charges
I would have to review all the discovery (evidence) in the case before I could give any advice about a case. In general though, the prosecutor needs to have some amount of evidence before they can proceed on a case. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to this in various courts throughout New Jersey in the past. Please contact me to discuss this case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Re: Burglary charges
There are people sitting in prison right now because one person said that someone else did and/or said something without any other evidence. It takes a good attorney to fight for the defendant. I practice in every court in NJ and I have four offices. Call me at 732/247/3340. If you get my voicemail, leave a message and I will call you back.
Re: Burglary charges
Of course I'd be happy to see if I could be of any help... I have almost 20 years of trial experience and will give an honest assessment of the case.
Feel free to call me direct or write back to schedule an interview....what county in NJ are we talking about??

Re: Burglary charges
It would seem that your brother has a problem because someone is saying he was present and entered the house that was burglarized. He could trying the case, but only if he was not there and was not involved. Defendant's with a history of drug abuse are of little use to their case, if they chose to testify.
Call me if you like.
