Knowledgeable New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney

Listening is the first step to effectively defending any client. Too many lawyers gloss over this step. But at the Law Office of Peter C.

You can trust me to give you an honest assessment of your case and a clear picture of the possible outcomes.

Criminal Defense · Traffic Violations · DUI /DWI

Contact my Fort Lee law office today for a free initial phone consultation to learn more about how I can help. I represent clients in any type of criminal case, including the following:

  • DUI/DWI Defense: Drunk driving is a traffic offense, not a criminal offense, but the consequences can be severe if you're found guilty. There are defense strategies that may help you, but you need to talk to an experienced DUI lawyer immediately.
  • Traffic Violations: Traffic violations can increase your insurance, get your driver's license suspended and even result in jail time. Don't let tickets pile up - fight them when possible.
  • Theft Offenses: From shoplifting and bad checks to embezzlement and armed robbery, I defend people charged with any type of theft offense.
  • Shoplifting: Even misdemeanor charges for shoplifting should be handled with care. Protect your criminal record and your future by consulting an experienced theft defense lawyer.
  • Drug Charges: I have handled thousands of drug cases including simple possession, intent to distribute/distribution, manufacturing and drug kingpins. I have the knowledge and experience to help you with your drug case.
  • Violent Crimes: I defend people charged with any violent crime, from domestic violence and assault to first-degree murder.
  • Domestic Violence: I understand the importance of resolving domestic violence charges quickly and confidentially. I am experienced handling challenging domestic violence charges and restraining orders.
  • Sex Crimes: Because judges and juries are quick to presume guilt, these cases can be difficult to defend. It is vital to have a criminal defense attorney with experience in this area. I have this experience. I handle cases from public lewdness to sexual assault.
  • Juvenile Offenses: Teen years are difficult for everyone. If you're losing sleep over a young person's mistakes, trust me to bring them the best defense.
  • Weapons Charges: New Jersey gun laws are very strict. It's not hard to violate them without intending to. Don't lose your property or go to jail.
  • White Collar Crimes: I provide professional advice and representation to individuals facing serious criminal charges for fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, extortion and other white collar crimes.
  • Other Crimes: I handle cases of arson, resisting arrest, carjacking, welfare fraud and other misdemeanor or felony offenses not listed. I defend clients against all criminal charges.
  • Other Areas of Practice: In addition to criminal defense work, I represent people at bail hearings and assist with expungements to clear old criminal charges from your public record. I also represent clients in matters of residential and commercial real estate law.
