Aberdeen Criminal Defense Attorney

Need a Criminal Lawyer Near Aberdeen NJ

Have you been arrested and charged with a criminal or traffic offense in Aberdeen Township? Was it simple assault? Possession of marijuana? Disorderly Conduct? Shoplifting? Driving while intoxicated? If so, we strongly urge that you contact a local experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to understand your options. Being charged with a criminal offense and summonsed into court can be absolutely terrifying. That is why it is absolutely crucial that you fully understand all your options, including potential defense and the applicable penalties if convicted prior to entering into court.

The Aberdeen Township Municipal Court, which is located at 1 Aberdeen Square, has original jurisdiction over all disorderly persons offenses, petty disorderly persons offenses, township ordinances and traffic offenses that occur within its borders. The vast majority of these types of offenses will be issued by the Aberdeen Police Department. With that being said, since the Garden State Parkway cuts right through Aberdeen Township, all offenses issued by the New Jersey State Police that occur within Aberdeen will also be litigated in the Aberdeen Municipal Court. So, for example, if an individual is charged by the New Jersey State Police with driving while intoxicated at mile marker 117, their case will be sent to the Aberdeen Municipal Court for disposition.

If you or a loved one have been summonsed to appear in the Aberdeen Municipal Court and would like to speak to an attorney about your options, please feel free to contact Keith Oliver Criminal Law at 732.858.6959.

Looking for an Assault Lawyer in Aberdeen NJ

By far one of the most common criminal offenses that we tend to see litigated in the Aberdeen Municipal Court is simple assault. Although simple assault is considered the lowest level assault charge in New Jersey, the applicable penalties if convicted can be crippling. Anyone convicted of simple assault will be facing up to six months in the Monmouth County Jail, a fine up to $1,000, a criminal record as well as court mandated anger management. In addition, if the incident is classified as an act of domestic violence, the individual might also be subject to a temporary restraining order (TRO). A temporary restraining order is separate and apart from the underlying assault charges and will be litigated in the Chancery Division, Family Part of the Monmouth County Superior Court, which is located in Freehold.

Facing a Disorderly Conduct Charge in Aberdeen New Jersey

Often coined as New Jersey’s catchall offense, disorderly conduct is one of the more frequently charged crimes in New Jersey and Aberdeen Township is no exception. Although not endless, the types of potential conduct that classified as “disorderly conduct” include but are not limited to: minor physical altercations, verbal disputes, public intoxication and disturbing the peace. Disorderly conduct is a petty disorderly persons offense in New Jersey, which is considered a misdemeanor. If convicted, an individual will be facing up to 30 days in the Monmouth County Jail, a fine up to $500 and a criminal record.

Need a Lawyer for a DWI Charge in Aberdeen Township

Even though driving while intoxicated offenses are considered traffic in nature, the potential penalties if convicted can be devastating. With that being said, in December of 2019 the potential penalties for DWI offenses in New Jersey drastically changed. Although at first glance it appears that the penalties have become less severe, some may argue that the opposite has actually occurred, thus being able to mount a successful offense is more important than ever. The Aberdeen Municipal Court is no stranger to DWI charges, in 2018 alone they had more than 65 DWI offenses litigated in its court. This is probably due in large part to the Garden State Parkway cutting right through the Township.
