Criminal Defense Overview

Overview

John B. Fabriele, III represents individuals throughout New Jersey who are facing criminal charges. From municipal court matters such as disorderly persons offenses and traffic violations to serious indictable offenses in Superior Court, John provides experienced, strategic defense at every stage of the process.

Being charged with a crime can be overwhelming. John takes the time to explain your rights, the charges you face, the potential penalties, and the defense options available to you. His goal is to protect your freedom, your record, and your future with personalized attention and aggressive advocacy.

All crimes need to be established beyond a reasonable doubt. Crimes may be charged as misdemeanors or indictable offenses which are called felonies in other states. Indictable offenses are more serious than disorderly persons offense commonly called misdemeanors, and they come in four degrees of varying severity. First-degree indictable offenses in New Jersey, for example, are the most serious and include murder, manslaughter, and rape. Certain crimes cannot be expunged from your record, including homicide, kidnapping, robbery, false imprisonment, DWI, and first- and second-degree distribution of a controlled dangerous substance. This makes it especially important to retain a criminal attorney in New Jersey who will fight to keep your record clean.

Frequently Asked Questions About Criminal Charges in New Jersey

We understand you may have questions about the criminal process. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive.

What does a criminal lawyer do?

A criminal lawyer protects your rights and builds the strongest possible defense on your behalf. Your free case evaluation begins with a detailed discussion of your arrest and the available documentation.

Once the facts are analyzed, John B. Fabriele identifies the best possible outcome and develops a defense plan to pursue it. From bail hearings and court appearances to negotiations, motions, and trial, he remains accessible and by your side throughout the process.

When should you contact a criminal defense lawyer in New Jersey?

As soon as possible. The earlier you speak with a criminal defense lawyer, the sooner your defense can begin to develop. Anything you say to law enforcement, family members, or neighbors can be used against you.

After an arrest, speak with an attorney before discussing your case with anyone else. A lawyer can guide you through each step and help you take the appropriate action immediately.

What happens when someone is arrested and charged with a crime in New Jersey?

An arrest may happen at the time of an alleged crime, or after a warrant has been issued. Following an arrest, you may be held in police custody and given an opportunity to call a lawyer.

An experienced defense attorney can help you understand the process, including entering a plea, arranging bail, release, possible trial, and options for challenging the charges.

What cases does a criminal defense lawyer handle?

Why is it important to hire a criminal defense attorney?

Criminal charges and a conviction can affect your freedom, career, relationships, and future. An experienced criminal defense attorney can explain the potential consequences and build the strongest available defense for your circumstances.

Why should I hire a private attorney if I qualify for a public defender?

Public defenders often manage very large caseloads and may have limited time to devote to every individual matter. A private criminal defense attorney can provide focused attention, strategy, and accessibility throughout your case.

What is expungement and what does the process look like in New Jersey?

Expungement is the legal process of removing eligible criminal records. Eligibility depends on factors such as the offense, time since conviction, and subsequent charges. An attorney can evaluate whether expungement may be available to you.

How long have you been handling criminal defense cases?
