Fought by Our New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyers
Engaging in or promoting prostitution is an offense. The promotion of prostitution of a person under 18 is a crime of the second degree. Promoting one’s spouse to engage in prostitution or engaging in sexual activity with a person under 18 is a crime of the third degree. Certain kinds of other promotion of prostitution are considered fourth-degree crimes and engaging in prostitution with an adult is considered a disorderly persons offense but sequent violations are escalated to a fourth-degree crime.
Loitering for the Purpose of Engaging in Prostitution
It’s a disorderly persons offense to wander, remain, or prowl about for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. Such illegal conduct includes repeatedly stopping cars or pedestrians in a public place.
Obscenity
It’s a crime in New Jersey to sell or display any obscene material to anyone unless the municipality where it occurs specifically permits the sale or display. While the statute attempts to define what is considered obscenity in 2C:34-2a(1), there is a lot of room for argument and interpretation. Depending upon the circumstances, a defendant charged with violating the obscenity laws may have a valid legal argument that they were practicing free speech.
Diseased Person Committing an Act of Sexual Penetration
If a person is knowingly inflicted with an STD such as gonorrhea, syphilis, or herpes, it is a fourth-degree crime to engage in sexual penetration which includes oral sex without first telling the other person. Under 2C:34-5b, if the person knows they have HIV or AIDS and they fail to tell the other person, then it’s a crime of the third degree. If you are charged with any of the above offenses, you should consider hiring a criminal defense lawyer in New Jersey to fight for the best outcome to your case.

I couldn’t recommend Michael and his team enough! I reached out to the office and left a voicemail, within 24hrs Michael and his team scheduled a call with me. Michael took the time to learn about my case but also me as a client. He has a great background, is extremely knowledgeable, and personable. As a result of his thorough work, I got a positive result on my case, I highly highly recommend his services.- T Le (TEA)

I am beyond grateful to Roberts and Teeter LLC for what they achieved on my behalf. My DUI from 15 years ago—stemming from a breath test that was later found unreliable due to the mis-calibration scandal known as State v. Cassidy—was reduced to a reckless driving charge. This case uncovered that the Alcotest device used in many DUI convictions was improperly calibrated, undermining the scientific reliability of those results .
For years, I carried the weight—and the embarrassment—of having to disclose a DUI on job applications. Thanks to the law firm’s exceptional skill and efficiency, that burden has been lifted in just two court appearances. Roberts and Teeter LLC restored my peace of mind and reputation, opening the door to a brighter future. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Any gun enthusiast in NJ would likely know that we have some of the strictest gun laws in the Country. Due to some indiscretion and unfortunate events in my younger days, my 2nd Amendment rights were jeopardized. I hired other attorneys that were difficult to communicate with, all talk no action, and unsuccessful in getting my rights restored. A friend recommended Roberts & Teeter and I couldn't be happier with their representation and results. Both Michael Roberts and Matthew Teeter worked on my case. They are extremely knowledgeable about the law and were always able to explain complex matters to me in a way that I could understand. They were always very professional, ethical, caring, and readily available to quickly respond to my questions and concerns. Most importantly, they were successful in helping me obtain my FPID card and purchase permit when I had almost given up hope.
Thank you!- J C -

I recently hired Mike to appeal my carry permit denial! In the process of waiting for a court date, I had an incident where the state tried to revoke my FID card and forfeit my firearms! Mike represented me on both accounts and not only did he get the forfeiture denied but he got my carry permit granted! Mike went up to bat and came home with a grand slam! He was resourceful, attentive, understanding, and work with me every step of the way! Money well spent! Any gun problems he is your attorney for sure !! Thanks, Mike! Merry Christmas to you and your family.- Former Client
