Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: domestic assault

If you have a hearing on a domestic violence complaint as to whether a temporary restraining should be made permanent, there would be no possibility of a jail sentence and no prosecutor would participate in the hearing. If you are having hearing on a criminal charge of assault there will be a prosecutor and you could go to jail. In either event you need and attorney.

Call me if you like.

Re: domestic assault

Dear Sir:

You need a lawyer. Immediately. I have defended domestic violence charges for many years: you must get a lawyer, to give yourself the best chance to deal with this.

You are not facing jail if this is only a domestic violence matter. But you may be kept out of your apartment and have other bad things happen.

You are facing jail on the criminal assualt charge, if there is one pending.

In any case, get a lawyer.

You are likely to be more successful with an attorney representing you.

Please call me if you would like me to assist you. I am in Hackensack, right across from the Bergen County Courthouse.
