Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: NJ Speedy Trial rights in New Jersey

Trust me, NJ courts try to push criminal cases as quickly as possible. I doubt you'll even have a good argument for speedy trial. Don't waste your time on that and focus more on the case itself. If you have a pending charge, it doesn't seem like you trust your lawyer. If you'd like to discuss the case, give me a call.

Re: NJ Speedy Trial rights in New Jersey

Some states, such as New York, have a speedy indictment, statute or court rule requiring indictment within a certain time period. New Jersey does not. In New Jersey one most make a motion for a speedy trial in order to complain of being denied same. Once the motin is granted then the State's failure to move a matter for trial within a reasonable time period is a basis for dismissing the criminal matter.
