It is important for the public to know that criminal law cases in New Jersey are different from other states. New Jersey classifies their offenses in a different way from most other states so it is vitally important that a Maple Shade DUI Attorney have experience litigating in New Jersey courts.
Where most states classify crimes as felonies or misdemeanors, the state of New Jersey labels crimes as indictable crimes, disorderly persons offenses or petty disorderly persons offenses. Then, within these guidelines, there are six grades of crimes.
Even though the state of New Jersey does not consider a disorderly persons offense to be a crime, if a person is found guilty it still gives them a criminal record. This is why it is so important to have a Maple Shade criminal attorney to defend any criminal charges.
Also, when a person has been charged with a disorderly persons offense, they can’t choose a jury trial in the state of New Jersey.
As noted, New Jersey criminal law is quite complex and requires competent legal assistance.
