Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: sentencing

When you are sentenced the judge can allow you to apply for house arrest whereby you would wear an electronic bracelet, like Martha Stewart, and be allowed to leave the house only for specific allowed purposes. The application is made to the County Sheriff. I would expect that a reasonable

amount of time would be allowed to transport children to and from school and doctors and possibly to work.

Re: sentencing

If you were going to get probation, the State would have offered it to you already. I doubt they are going to consent to house arrest, which will be along the lines of a probation. I'm just not sure its an option that a Judge will consider, but I need to know more info about your case.

Depending on the situation, you may be better off arguing for probation. We have a good record of undercutting the State's offer through a motion to the Judge.

Another option is to take back your guilty plea. While easier said that done, its not impossible and depending on the circumstances, it may actually be fairly easy to accomplish.

Thus, you have multiple issues and options. My consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss them. I look forward to speaking with you.

Good luck!
