Mercer County Criminal Defense Lawyers at The Rubinstein Law Firm are experienced in defending you 

Mercer County NJ Criminal Defense Attorneys
We repeatedly defend individuals charged with crimes in Mercer County, Burlington County, and Middlesex County, New Jersey.  Sometimes, your matter is initially heard in Municipal Court, but due to the severity, it is sent to the County Prosecutor for review.  Other times, the charges are so serious, that the County Prosecutor has it from the start.  

You need a lawyer defending you from the beginning to determine what your defenses are, what type of proof the State will use against you, and if your matter should be sent back down to the Municipal Court.

Proof Needed by the Prosecutor

The Prosecutor MUST PROVE ITS CASE AGAINST YOU.  No person can be convicted unless each element of the offense is proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Degrees and Penalties for New Jersey Crimes

First Degree: 10-20 years in prison, fine up to $200,000.  Some crimes may carry a longer jail sentence

Second Degree: 5-10 years in prison, fine up to $150,000

Third Degree: 3-5 years in prison, fine up to $15,000
