Aggressive Attorneys for Criminal Defendants

Long Branch, New Jersey, Criminal Defense Lawyers

When the criminal charges against you are serious, you need a defense lawyer who will fight hard on your behalf and file all the pre-trial motions necessary to protect you. Remember, the government has virtually unlimited resources to prosecute you. Use your resources to hire a lawyer who will act tirelessly as your advocate.

At the New Jersey law firm of Koufos & Norgaard, LLC, we have successfully represented accused persons throughout the state. Through our years of criminal defense work, we have gained a well-deserved reputation for excellence through careful case preparation and aggressive advocacy. Contact us today for a consultation following an arrest.

After an Arrest: The first thing you should do after an arrest is talk to an experienced criminal defense lawyer before you talk to anyone else — including the police, your family and your friends. Your lawyer can assist your in arranging bail if you are in custody. Read more advice from Koufos & Norgaard about steps to take after an arrest.

A Record of Success in Felony and Misdemeanor Cases

Our law firm takes on all manner of criminal cases, from misdemeanor DWI citations to felony murder charges. In our years of operation, we have enjoyed notable successes in a wide range of criminal cases, including:

Some of Our Past Successes: A client who faced 20 years for first-degree robbery ended up with probation and time served. A client who faced 150 years for 30 counts of third-degree insurance and health care fraud ended up facing only probation. In several cases where clients faced five-year sentences for aggravated assault on a police officer, we achieved not-guilty verdicts.

We Are at Your Side From Start to Finish

One sign of a true advocate is his or her willingness to keep fighting on your behalf. At Koufos & Norgaard, we also handle criminal appeals — for both new clients and existing clients who are unhappy with the outcome of their case. Furthermore, we give efficient assistance with applications for criminal record expungement for clients who want to clean up their criminal records.
