Knowledgeable Criminal Lawyer Is By Your Side Throughout the New Jersey Criminal Process

There are many steps in the criminal process. While some of these may be unfamiliar, they are nonetheless important. At Camili Law, LLC, our knowledgeable West Milford criminal defense attorney is by your side every step of the way throughout the criminal process.

Some of the key steps in the New Jersey criminal process are as follows:

Investigation of the alleged crime
Arrest of an individual based on “probable cause”
Prosecutor brings a formal accusation known as a criminal charge that alleges an individual has committed a crime
Once the defendant is formally charged, there is an arraignment or initial hearing
During a process known as discovery, both the defense and the prosecution share their information about the case
A plea bargain may be reached by the defendant and the prosecution, which is a legal agreement resolving the case. This means the case does not go to trial
The prosecution must present sufficient evidence of the charge during a preliminary hearing. The prosecution must convince a judge that there is “probable cause”, which would then require the defendant to stand trial for the crimes charged in the complaint
Absent a plea bargain, the case goes to trial before a judge or jury
If the defendant pleads guilty, or the jury finds the defendant guilty, then the court sentences the defendant
An appeal may be filed if the defendant is found guilty. An appeal is a formal request that asks a higher court to review the criminal case and reverse the decision of the lower court. The defendant may appeal just the sentence or the conviction

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Criminal Offenses In West Milford, New Jersey

If I get a traffic ticket in New Jersey, will I have to go to jail?

In some cases, yes. Certain types of traffic tickets require the individual to serve jail time. Driving with a suspended drivers’ license, for example, may require serving five days in jail if it is the driver’s 2nd ticketed offense.

I got a traffic ticket and I am guilty. If I don’t contest the charge and I just pay the ticket, what happens?

This may seem like a simple solution without any consequence other than paying the fine. But drivers who plead guilty to traffic violations are required to pay the maximum fine. The conviction is also recorded on the individual’s driving record. This means that points are added to the person’s drivers’ license, which then increases a driver’s insurance premiums. It is important to note that any points on an individual’s drivers’ license are accumulated. When and if the number of points collectively reaches a certain level, the individual’s drivers’ license may be suspended. So if you received a traffic ticket and feel you are guilty of the violation, it is still in your best interests to consult with a skilled criminal attorney.
