Criminal Justice Attorney
Drug possession defense litigation
Although many drug arrests in New Jersey are initiated by the police after a motor vehicle stop, persons, buildings and even your own home can be searched by police if they have a search warrant, although there are some exceptions to the warrant requirement. If you’re charged with possession or distribution of drugs of any kind, it’s very important that you have a thorough understanding of Fourth Amendment search and seizure law and a strong, competent criminal defense attorney like Martin D. Matlaga who specializes in the defense of drug possession and distribution. The laws pertaining to controlled dangerous substances (CDS) or drug charges may be found in the New Jersey Criminal Code beginning with N.J.S.A. 2C:35-1 and ending with N.J.S.A. 2C:35-31. These involve the possession, manufacturing and distribution of drugs, among other considerations. Possession of controlled dangerous substance charges in New Jersey are graded according to a schedule. Possession, for example, of
Aggravated Assault
Assault can be either simple or aggravated. Aggravated assault is the more serious of the two charges and carries harsher penalties.

Recklessly caused bodily injury to someone with a deadly weapon, or; 2. Attempted to cause or purposefully or knowingly cause bodily injury to another person with a deadly weapon, or; 3. Attempted to cause serious bodily injury to another, or caused such injury purposely or knowingly or under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life recklessly caused such injury, or; 4. Knowingly pointed a firearm at another person. An individual can be charged with aggravated assault in the fourth, third, or even the second degree.

Murder
According to the laws of the State of New Jersey, murder is a crime of the first degree. In a prosecution for the crime of murder, the State must prove three elements beyond a reasonable doubt: First, it must be proved that a person died; Second, it must be proved that the defendant caused the death or serious bodily injury resulting in death; Third, it must be proved that the defendant acted purposely or knowingly. Purposely or knowingly causing serious bodily injury which results in death is enough for a murder conviction. The State must prove that the defendant caused the death of another or serious bodily injury resulting in the death of another and that the death or serious bodily injury resulting in death was within the design or contemplation of the defendant. There is no statute of limitations on a prosecution for a charge of murder. Murder, aggravated manslaughter and manslaughter, as well as homicide caused while operating a motor vehicle or vessel, ar
Robbery
Robbery is a very serious offense and is considered either a first or second-degree crime in the State of New Jersey. Those convicted can face up to 20 years in prison depending on the charges. There are three types of acts that, if committed by someone, can result in a charge of robbery: 1. The accused inflicting bodily injury or using force while committing a theft, or; 2. The accused threatening bodily injury to or purposely putting someone in fear of immediate bodily injury while in the act of committing a theft, or; 3. The accused commits or threatens immediately to commit a first or second-degree crime while in the act of committing theft. While a Court will consider charges of robbery as a second-degree crime under ordinary circumstances (N.J.S.A. 2C:15-1), if a person is threatened with a weapon, if the accused attempts to commit theft while armed, if the accused attempts to kill anyone or if the accused attempts to or succeeds in causing serious bodily
Sexual Assault
In New Jersey, sexual assault is the legal term for rape. Some elements of Sexual Assault include having sexual contact with someone who is under 13 years of age (and you are over 17), and, committing an act of sexual penetration when the victim is at least 16-years-old but less than 18 years of age and under your supervision. Punishment depends on the circumstances of the crime and age of the victim. Generally, sexual assault is a second-degree crime and carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. Aggravated sexual assault is a first-degree crime and carries up to 20 years in prison. If you are convicted of these crimes, you will have to register as a sexual offender with the State of New Jersey for the rest of your life! Even juvenile sex offenders must register.
