Criminal Defense 30%

Along with my criminal associates, my firm specializes in criminal and MV allegations. There is no such person as a "defendant;" until and unless the State proves its case beyond a reasonable doubt, my client is in the eyes of the law presumed innocent, and should be referred to as the "wronguflly accused." As a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, and as a former prosecutor, I bring to the table a wealth of criminal experience, savvy and zeal.

DUI and DWI 30%

DWI defense is not like "rocket science." It IS rocket science. it requires the experience of a seasoned criminal trial attorney, one who has not only handled but tried many hundreds of both jury trials and DWI trials. As a specialist in such cases, being one of the few attorneys in this state certified by the inventor of the Alcotest as a "certified operator," both I and my experienced associates bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Our excellent reputation speaks volumes.

The Best

I hired Joe Rem for a DUI I was charged with and I did not lose my license thanks to his work, research and effort. I would highly recommend him!!!!

Posted by Kathy | May 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Traffic violations

Mr. Rem is a highly educated attorney who is also compassionate and understanding . Anyone who has any trouble with the law should consult him and hire him. I made the biggest mistake of hiring someone else who didn't even show up to my court date. Mr. Rem was early and talked to the prosecuter and... we were out within 20 minutes . Very impressed !

The man

Joe was my life saver, he chopped down a false accusation to full acquittal by thinking outside the box during the case negotiation. He stood his ground and knew the cards. I literally saw the respect the prosecutor had for him during the issue, and in the end we got the case dismissed. Unbelieva...ble. Only other feedback is that he showed up late, but better am awesome late attorney then a punctual mediocre attorney, because in the end it will all be permanent.

Go to Attorney!!!

What can I say about Joe Rem…. He is an amazing attorney with great knowledge. He came recommended by a friend and since then I have been represented beyond compare. In addition to his wealth of knowledge, he works wonders when he enters a courtroom and gets things done. I would HIGHLY recommend Joe ...Rem to anyone needing his services.

Posted by anonymous | July 11, 2013 | Lawsuits & Disputes

One of the Finest Individuals I know.

Mr. Rem is uniquely talented. Trust that he knows the law and will defend it. Trust that he will respond to you in a personal and caring fashion. What struck me as unique is that Mr. Rem defended my interests while simultaneously upholding a measure of fairness to my adversary. This might sound c...ounterproductive. It is not. It is transcendent. If you've ever been through the legal system, then you will recognize this as special. He is a wise man. He is generous.
