Being charged with a crime can be a frightening, confusing experience, and it may feel like there are many powerful parties aligned against you. A qualified criminal defense lawyer can level the playing field and help you explore your legal options. In fact, having a respected defense lawyer at your side can sometimes be the difference between the District Attorney pursuing a maximum penalty versus offering you a plea for lesser charges. The Pennsylvania and New Jersey DUI and criminal defense lawyers at Winegar, Wilhelm, Glynn & Roemersma offer skilled, aggressive representation in all types of criminal cases.
One of the most common types of criminal cases is driving under the influence. Many people charged with a DUI make the mistake of not hiring a lawyer, but the penalties for DUI can be stiff, and appearing without legal representation can put you at an increased risk of receiving the maximum penalty. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, our experienced DUI lawyers can effectively prepare your defense. Even if our lawyers don’t take the case to trial and win, their very presence will make the prosecution much more likely to seek a bargain, which often means a reduced punishment for our client.
An individual may be charged with assault/battery for acting in a manner that causes another to feel they are in immediate harm, for attempting to physically strike or harm another individual, or for actually striking another. The assault/battery charge may be classified as “aggravated” if the person causes severe injury or uses a deadly weapon to injure another. The qualified team of criminal defense lawyers at Winegar, Wilhelm, Glynn & Roemersma can help defendants throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania understand their legal rights and defend themselves against assault/battery charges.
The severity of a drug possession charge is dependent on a number of factors, including the type and quantity of drugs, the location of the crime, prior convictions, purpose of possession, and various other circumstances. A qualified criminal defense lawyer may be able to have evidence in your case thrown out due to an illegal search, or your lawyer may be able to work with the District Attorney to arrange a plea bargain or otherwise minimize the penalties you face. Contact Winegar, Wilhelm, Glynn & Roemersma for a thorough review of your case.
Drug trafficking is a serious charge that requires experienced, aggressive representation. Based on the circumstances surrounding your case, a skilled criminal defense attorney may be able to have the evidence in your case suppressed, negotiate with the District Attorney on your behalf, or even have your case dismissed altogether. Our dedicated legal team is prepared to defend your rights. If you have been charged with drug trafficking, contact our firm for sophisticated, aggressive legal assistance.
The juvenile justice system is very different than the adult criminal justice system. In most states, the age of criminal responsibility is 18 years. Defendants under the age of culpability are typically subject to the juvenile code. The goal of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate offenders rather than punish them for their crimes. However, it is possible for your child’s case to be transferred into adult court, where he or she will be tried and punished as an adult. To protect the interests of your child, contact our firm for dedicated assistance and experienced legal representation.
Although classifications vary by state, sexual assault typically refers to crimes in which the offender forces sexual behavior on another without his or her consent. Sexual assault crimes can range from groping to attempted rape, and the penalty depends on the age of the victim, the defendant’s prior convictions, and a number of other factors. The criminal defense lawyers at Winegar, Wilhelm, Glynn & Roemersma can investigate your case and prepare a strong defense against sexual assault charges to ensure that you receive a fair trial.
Homicide is a broad term that encompasses both murder and manslaughter. The penalty for homicide varies greatly depending on the circumstances of each individual case, such as whether the act was premeditated, the defendant’s mental state at the time of the crime, the defendant’s prior convictions, and a host of other factors. If you have been charged with homicide, contact our team of criminal defense attorneys in New Jersey and Pennsylvania as soon as possible. We can evaluate your case, advise you of your legal rights, and ensure that you receive a fair trial.
