Monmouth County Court Information

Monmouth County Criminal Defense Attorneys

Monmouth County is an interesting place to practice law.   It contains some of the most affulent places to live in the country.  However, there are pockets of severe poverty which produces a large number of very serious crimes.   In addition, there are some areas that have a large influx of immigrants which can lead to numerous issues due to language barriers and discrimination. 

Due to a new Prosecutor that has brought a new way of thinking to the Prosecutor's Office, we have seen a rise in the level of large scale arrests as well as arrests for while collar crime.  While the courts are much busier than it's neighbor of Ocean County, it still a pleasure to work with the court staff and the prosecutor's office as it is not hectic and rushed like some of the more northern counties.  This allows us to build better relationships with everyone involved with a client's case.
