The Consequences of a Criminal Conviction in New Jersey
A criminal conviction in New Jersey—whether for a disorderly persons offense or an indictable felony—can result in:
- Jail or prison sentences
- Hefty fines and court costs
- Probation and community service
- Mandatory counseling or education programs
- Driver’s license suspension or revocation
- A permanent criminal record
Beyond the courtroom, a conviction can affect employment, housing, education, professional licenses, immigration status, firearm rights, and even child custody matters. Employers, landlords, and lenders routinely conduct background checks, and a criminal record can close doors for years.
This is why it is critical to speak with a knowledgeable Middlesex County criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

"I highly highly recommend his services"
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.

"I cannot recommend them highly enough."
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.

"Thanks again!!"
Matt Teeter and his firm did an excellent job handeling my DUI Case. Mr Teeter was able to get my DUI dismmissed and lowered to a much lower offense. I will be recommending Mr. Teeter and his firm to anyone facing any traffic violation. Thanks again!!

"Thank you!"
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
