1
Post-Arrest & Evidence Preservation
Contact an Arabic-speaking defense attorney immediately. Critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness availability, injury documentation — disappears quickly.

Investigation & Self-Defense Analysis
Conduct independent investigation. If self-defense applies, gather evidence showing who initiated contact, the threat level, and proportionality of response.
3
Pre-Trial Motions & Negotiation
File motions to suppress evidence or dismiss charges. Negotiate with prosecutors — present self-defense evidence, mitigating factors, and any profiling concerns.

Trial or Resolution
If the case cannot be dismissed or reduced, prepare a strong trial defense emphasizing self-defense, witness credibility issues, or prosecutorial burden of proof.

New Jersey Criminal Defense Laws
Every state has different criminal laws and penalties. Here's what you need to know about defending charges in New Jersey.
DUI / DWI Laws
BAC Limit0.08%
Commercial BAC0.04%
Underage BAC0.01%
Felony ThresholdDUI is not a criminal offense in NJ — it is a traffic offense. DUI causing death is vehicular homicide (felony equivalent).
Lookback Period10 years
Ignition InterlockRequired
1st Offense
Up to 30 days jail, $250-$400 fine, 3-month license suspension (0.08-0.10% BAC)
2nd Offense
48 hours to 90 days jail, $500-$1,000 fine, 2-year license suspension
New Jersey is unique — DUI is a traffic violation, not a criminal offense. This means NO criminal record from DUI alone, which can benefit immigration cases.
Drug Laws
Marijuana: Legal (Recreational)
Possession Penalty
Legal for adults 21+ (up to 6 oz). Under 21: written warning (first offense), $250 fine (second), potential referral (third).
Drug CourtAvailable
Diversion ProgramsAvailable
Mandatory MinimumsNo
New Jersey eliminated mandatory minimums for drug offenses. Strong diversion and drug court programs available statewide.
Assault & Self-Defense
Simple Assault
Disorderly persons offense — up to 6 months jail, $1,000 fine
Aggravated Assault
Second to fourth degree crime — 18 months to 10 years prison
Duty to Retreat
New Jersey requires a duty to retreat before using deadly force outside the home. Castle Doctrine applies within your dwelling.
Criminal Thresholds & Expungement
Felony Theft ThresholdNo specific dollar threshold — crimes are graded by degree (disorderly persons, 4th degree, 3rd degree, 2nd degree, 1st degree)
Three Strikes LawYes
ExpungementAvailable
Clean Slate Law (2020) allows expungement of many offenses. "Clean Slate" automatic expungement for marijuana offenses.
New Jersey uses "indictable crimes" instead of "felonies" and "disorderly persons offenses" instead of "misdemeanors."
Immigration Consequences
Paterson and Jersey City have significant Arab American communities. New Jersey's DUI being a traffic offense (not criminal) can be advantageous for immigration — a DUI alone does not create a criminal record. However, other criminal convictions carry full immigration consequences.
For Arab and Muslim community members with immigration concerns, it is critical to have an attorney who understands both criminal defense strategy and immigration consequences. A conviction that seems minor can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or loss of visa status.
