Long Branch, New Jersey, Homicide Defense Lawyers
The criminal defense lawyer you choose becomes a life-changing decision when you're looking at a prison sentence of 10 years or more for a violent crime like robbery, aggravated assault or homicide.
You don't want a lawyer who rests on his or her past achievements. You want defense attorneys who have built a reputation as hard-working and smart advocates — lawyers who aren't afraid of a good fight and who know how to win one.
At Koufos & Norgaard, LLC, we have successfully defended clients throughout New Jersey in all types of violent crimes cases — from illegal possession of a weapon to aggravated assault and homicide. Our lawyers are energetic, intelligent advocates who don't back down in the face of strong opposition. In recognition of our success, our two founding partners were named to the Rising Stars list in Super Lawyers magazine in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

How Do We Defend Our Clients in Serious Cases?
The three key words are preparation, preparation and preparation! Defending against any serious criminal charge requires thorough pre-trial investigation to test the strength of the government's case against you. At Koufos & Norgaard, we carefully prepare every case for trial, even when our client wants us to negotiate a plea bargain. A complete trial file ensures that we do not overlook key evidence or key defenses. Furthermore, if the client chooses to negotiate a plea, we will endeavor to negotiate the most favorable option possible.
A winning defense requires us to carefully review all documents, photos, lab reports, witness statements and audio or video files. We file as many pre-trial motions as necessary, seeking to dismiss indictments before trial or suppress evidence or testimony that may be prejudicial, illegally obtained, or otherwise improper.
