Criminal Defense Attorney in Morristown

Advocating for the Rights of Morris County Residents: (973) 832-0841

There is no such thing as a small criminal case. Any criminal charge—from an accusation of petty theft to an arrest for violent crimes—can lead to a conviction resulting in devastating consequences including prison or jail time, fines, loss of license, and more. A criminal record is something that can follow you around for years to come, making it more difficult to find a job, secure housing, or obtain a loan. Do not fight against the prosecution alone. Call the Morristown criminal defense lawyer at The Law Offices of Joseph S. Scura today.

Why Hiring a Defense Lawyer Is Crucial

When a person is charged with a crime, the prosecution will work hard to make them look as guilty as possible. With the help of a skilled criminal defense attorney in Morristown fighting in your corner, you have a better chance at understanding all your available legal options and pursuing the right strategy for your case.

Many people—especially those who have never been accused of a crime before—tend to put their faith in their ability to explain the situation to the police. Unfortunately, this could not be further from the truth, as those explanations will be used against defendants. The constitution affords you the right to an attorney in criminal cases for a reason. Exercise your right to counsel as soon as you are charged, or have reason to believe you are the target of an investigation.
