WHO IS REPRESENTING YOU?"

The Trenton Criminal Defense Lawyers at The Rubinstein Law Firm, LLC are here to help YOU.​
You already know that being arrested in New Jersey and charged with a crime is a SERIOUS MATTER.  That is why you are here.  You also know that the Prosecutor is already building a case against you.  That is why YOU NEED SOMEONE ON YOUR SIDE right away. 

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

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.
