Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
the letter of the law
I have been criminally charged for an action of self-defense during a reposession (my car was being repossessed)
I consulted attorneys, but all of them only advised me how to present the facts in a twisted manner to win the case. I am not interested in winning but justice by the letter of the law. If I am guilty I am ready to pay the price. Is there any attorney out there who would be willing to advise me how to apply the law for justice instead of how to twist it fro wictory?

Re: the letter of the law
You are perfectly entitled to go to court without an attorney and to plead guilty and take whatever sentence is imposed. If you consult an attorney he or she is ethically required to advise you of all defenses that you may have and all alternatives to prosecution. In other words, if you do not wish to hire your own personal word warrior, you do not have to.
In our legal system we have a modern day sytsgtem of trial by combat. The jury is supposed to mete out justice or rather a true verdict and the lawyers are supposed to engage in a controlled, nonviolent legal combat, providing the jury with a view of both sides of the question so that it can make an informed decision.
As for me, as an attorney I will handle your criminal manner that you require,so long as you do not request anything that is ethically not allowed or unlawful.
Call me if you like.
