Criminal Charges in New Jersey Carry Serious Consequences
A criminal conviction in New Jersey can result in penalties such as:
- Jail or prison sentences
- Heavy fines and court costs
- Probation and community service
- Mandatory counseling or education programs
- Suspension or revocation of driving privileges
- A permanent criminal record
Beyond court-imposed penalties, a conviction can impact employment, housing, professional licensing, education, immigration status, and firearm rights. Employers, landlords, and lenders routinely conduct background checks, and even one conviction can close doors for years to come.
That is why it is critical to speak with a knowledgeable Woodbridge criminal defense lawyer as early as possible.

Felony vs. Misdemeanor Charges in New Jersey
New Jersey categorizes criminal offenses differently than many states:
- Indictable Crimes (Felonies): The most serious offenses, prosecuted in Superior Court and punishable by prison time.
- Disorderly Persons Offenses (Misdemeanors): Less serious but still punishable by jail time, fines, and a permanent record.
- Petty Disorderly Persons Offenses: Minor offenses that can still carry lasting consequences.
Regardless of how your charge is classified, any conviction can affect your life long after the case ends. Our Woodbridge criminal defense lawyers tailor defense strategies to the specific charge and court involved.

With Our Clients Every Step of the Way

"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
