Quality Counsel for New Jersey Criminal and Matrimonial Law Matters
If you are experiencing marital problems and feel that divorce may be inevitable, you need to consult with an experienced family and matrimonial law attorney to work with you and find solutions that are fair, workable and forward-looking. Regardless of whether you are seeking custody or your children, need to modify an existing custody or support order or you want competent divorce lawyer, your legal counsel should be able to see both sides of the issue and suggest options for moving forward that are in your best interests.
On the other hand, if you have been charged with a crime in Essex County or elsewhere — from shoplifting to a DUI to racketeering — the assistance of a criminal defense attorney with first-hand knowledge of how the prosecution works, having been a former prosecutor, can be invaluable.
If you are facing family or criminal-related legal issues anywhere in the Essex, New Jersey, area, you need James Patton.
