Q. Consequences of 2C:14-4B(1) charge in New Jersey with no prior convictions
A: The answer is never a simple yes or no as to whether you will go to jail as a first time offender. Everything depends on the facts of the case and the charges. Please know that charges can be upgraded as well as downgraded until you go to trial. Programs do exist that the prosecutor may agree to, which would keep you out of jail and on probation as a first time offender, the problem is with this charge generally the prosecutor will deny a defendant entry into those programs for example PTI due to the nature of the charge and defendants actions. A lawyer would need to see your complaint and hear your facts of the case, to tell you whether he or she thinks they can keep you out of jail. For example someone exposing themselves with their back turned and unaware that a person saw them would have a much better chance of staying out of jail as opposed to someone who does an act in front of a minor where it could reasonably be inferred that someone would see them, especially if it was a young person. Lastly the quality of attorney you choose to hire can also effect the outcome, generally the better the attorney you hire the better the result you will get. If you are charged with this offense, I suggest that you setup one of the free in office consultations that most of us criminal lawyers offer. ... Read More
Q. Can carrying pepper spray for self-defense lead to legal trouble in New Jersey?
A: Yes you can get in trouble because remember the defense of self defense is not just based on what you feel at the time, but what a judge or jury after the fact will consider reasonable. In this state the best defense is always to withdraw from the situation if at all possible, this is not a stand your ground state.
Q. How to make an addendum to my will legally binding to involve both families in financial decisions?
A: To make sure something that is legally binding you go to a lawyer and even a lawyer can make mistakes but that is why they have malpractice insurance. If you want to make sure something is legally binding you will need to do the same thing a good lawyer would do which is to follow the rules set forth in NJSA 3B:12-21 and the following statutes which lay out the law on guardianships and also be aware of the case law interpreting it.
