The reach of criminal law and civil rights issues has permeated almost every aspect of our society. Criminal law is no longer a narrow and simple field. More than ever, conduct has been criminalized that has far-reaching implications relating to individual conduct, commercial transactions, businesses, insurance, corporations, health care professionals, immigration status and the family. The criminal and regulatory legal environment that exists is so pervasive that the distinction between civil and criminal law has become blurred and consumers need counsel capable of representing all of their interests. Many people and corporations unwittingly engage in actions that expose them to criminal prosecution, and are shocked to learn they have become "targets" of the criminal justice system. Personal liberty and economic survival are frequently implicated for individuals and corporations.
Early representation is critical in defending a matter and heading off a prosecution in the criminal justice system. An indictment alone can be extremely destructive to an individual or to a company. Proactive pre-indictment action sometimes is the most effective way to prevent the emotional and economic costs that result from the return of an indictment.
The Criminal/Civil Rights Team of Wilentz, Goldman, & Spitzer is experienced in criminal, civil, administrative, and regulatory litigation arising out of law enforcement, criminal law and civil rights issues. The team includes a former and soon-to-be President of the N.J. Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, a current Trustee of the N.J. Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, two certified criminal trial attorneys, former deputy attorneys general and former assistant prosecutors.
Our attorneys have experience in federal, state, municipal and administrative courts, at trial and appellate levels. The uniqueness of our team is the diversity of our practice and experience. We have attorneys who concentrate in specific areas, from complex white collar and regulatory matters, to issues that implicate mental health concerns, to driving while intoxicated cases and routine municipal court matters.
