When to Seek Legal Counsel

Early representation is critical in defending a matter in the criminal justice system. An indictment alone can be extremely destructive to an individual or to a company. Proactive pre-indictment action is often the most effective way to prevent the emotional and economic damages created by an indictment.

When you, your company, or your loved one needs legal representation, the Criminal Law team at Wilentz is prepared to protect your rights, advocate on your behalf, and defend you.
