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 Lesson

One of a parent's worst nightmares is receiving a call about their child from anyone in law enforcement, especially when that call arrives around 2 am. Hearing that there were no injuries provided a sense of relief but did little to allay the fear. As the morning approached I set about finding ...representation for my child. My first call was to a family friend who happens to be a judge in the area. "There is none finer. In fact I used his services for my own child two years ago." I made one more call to an attorney friend. I don't think it was a coincidence that the very same name was provided along with a glowing recommendation. The very next call was to Joe Rem's office to seek his representation for my child. I witnessed a finesse in dealing with, "the system," as each person with whom we interacted seemed as if Joe were a personal friend. It was akin to watching a surgeon in an operating room. He explained the situation quite directly and the steps ahead. Absolutely brilliant! It was clear Joe's knowledge of the law and the system was par excellence. The outcome was as he suggested. Both my child and I were so relieved. The words from Joe to my child continue to resonate as, despite her somewhat simultaneous fear and joy, she recalls almost verbatim his sincere concern about any future poor decision. I will be forever grateful for Joe's involvement and have recommended him on some number of occasions to friends many of whom have children that could, I am sure, recite Joe's parting words.
