The northern New Jersey criminal defense attorneys of Maynard & Sumner, LLC offer sound legal advice and professional, aggressive representation to clients who are being investigated for a child endangerment, sex assault or DYFS complaint.
You can rely on the experience of a certified criminal trial attorney and former Essex County prosecutor to come to your aid. Please contact our New Jersey pre-charge representation lawyers immediately to discuss your unique circumstances and your next steps in a free and completely confidential consultation.
We serve clients throughout northern New Jersey, including Morris, Passaic, Essex, Somerset, Union, Sussex and surrounding counties.
It is important to realize that the period before formal charges have been filed is an opportunity for a skilled attorney to reduce the severity of the charges or eliminate them entirely. In many cases, we will use our investigative skills and relationships with experts to gather the information necessary to negotiate with the prosecutor.
Depending on the severity of the crime, whether it is a sex assault or DYFS matter, the pre-charge representation of an experienced attorney could literally preserve your future rights and freedom, especially in cases where you are being investigated for crimes such as:
- Child pornography
- Solicitation of a minor or endangering the welfare of a minor
- Drug/CDS possession or distribution
- Child endangerment
- Violent crimes
- Sexual assault or rape
- DYFS
The penalties for these kinds of crimes change significantly depending on the particular degree of crime with which you are charged. A skilled pre-charge criminal defense attorney may be able to present evidence that indicates you should be charged under a lesser degree of the same offense that offers significantly reduced penalties.
