Who Should I Hire If My Violent Crime Case Involves Both Assault and Weapons Charges?

Hire a New Jersey criminal defense lawyer with experience handling both violent crime and weapons allegations. Assault and weapons charges often increase the stakes because the State may seek enhanced prison exposure, mandatory minimum terms, or parole ineligibility under the Graves Act. The weapon allegation may also affect bail, plea negotiations, and the overall approach to the case.
