Vernon, NJ Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

Sentencing in all federal cases depends upon the charges, the facts, your prior record and the sentencing judge. If you can get the case diverted out of the criminal system and serve a probationary sentence with the charges against you being dismissed on successful completion of probation you will have accomplished the best possible result. As a first offender you get the benefit of your good behavior up until the time of the offense and you might be able to arrange a plea agreement that would not leave you with a permanent criminal record. Good Luck.
