Sentencing in New Jersey Criminal Cases

Criminal Defense Attorney in Totowa, New Jersey

Sentencing is possibly the most significant aspect of a criminal case it is the point at which a Judge will determine the punishment for the crime that you have either been found guilty of or pled guilty to. The sentencing range is extraordinarily broad. In certain circumstances, you might be eligible for non-custodial probation, meaning that you will not have to serve any time in either the county jail or New Jersey State Prison. In other circumstances, you might be facing a lengthy term of incarceration in New Jersey State Prison with a period of parole ineligibility, meaning that the Court will specify a term that must be served before you will become eligible for parole. In some circumstances, you may be subjected to additional penalties such as a driver s license suspension or a requirement to reimburse the victim for damages sustained ( restitution ). In all circumstances, the Court will impose fines upon you.

Even if you entered a plea agreement with the State of New Jersey and a specific sentence was agreed to, a skillful defense attorney may be successful in arguing for a lesser sentence.
