Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Gloucester County criminal lawyer if I think I am under criminal investigation?


Do you believe you are under criminal investigation? If so, we strongly recommend consulting with an experienced Gloucester County criminal defense lawyer. 


If the police are investigating you, it generally means they have reason to believe you committed a crime or are aware of a crime and are building a case. Do not wait until formal charges have been brought against you. 


A Gloucester County criminal defense lawyer can help you in many ways, even if you have not been charged with anything. An attorney can help you understand and protect your legal rights and help ensure you do not incriminate yourself. Your attorney can also manage interactions with law enforcement, begin building your defense, and possibly get the case dropped before official charges are filed.

Can the police search my home or car without a warrant?


In New Jersey, as in the rest of the United States, the Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures. Generally, this means that police typically need a search warrant to search your home, car, or person. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, certain exceptions include, but are not limited to:


  • Consent. If you consent to a search, police do not need a warrant.
  • Plain view. If evidence or contraband is in plain view of the police, the police do not need a warrant to seize it. For example, if police stop you in a legal traffic stop and see contraband on your car seat, they can seize it.
  • Search incident to arrest. If the police arrest you for probable cause, they can search you and your immediate surroundings to ensure their safety and prevent the destruction of evidence.

It is important to understand that there are nuances to these exceptions that may make the police's actions unlawful. You should contact a criminal defense lawyer if you believe your rights were violated due to an improper search or seizure.

How do plea bargains work in New Jersey? 


Plea bargains, or plea deals, are negotiated agreements between the prosecution and the defense in a criminal case. If you accept a plea deal, you may agree to plead guilty to a reduced charge or only one charge in exchange for a more lenient sentence or the dismissal of other charges. 


A plea deal offers you a certain outcome, often mitigating the risk of more severe penalties that could result from a trial verdict. You may choose to accept a plea bargain if you expect a guilty verdict at trial. On the other hand, the prosecution gains the assurance of a conviction without the uncertainties of a trial. 


However, depending on the circumstances of your case, a plea bargain may not be in your best interest. You should consult closely with an experienced Gloucester County criminal attorney before accepting any deal from the prosecutor. You want to ensure that it aligns with your best interests and that you fully understand its implications.

Testimonials

I retained Mr. Redden for a D.U.I. a few years ago. Since I travel extensively for my business, I was extremely concerned about losing my license and not being able to work. Mr. Redden made clear from the beginning that he could not guarantee I would not lose my license, but that he would do his best to save it. He delivered on that promise. Mr. Redden reviewed the evidence in my case and found a problem with the evidence. As a result, the D.U.l. was dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone.

Steve T.

My daughter was killed in a car accident, after being served excessive alcohol by a bar, leaving her two small children without a mother. Some people tried to say it was my daughter's fault, but Mr. Redden worked hard and was able to prove that the bar was negligent for serving her too much alcohol. He recovered money to help her children. 

Maria V.

I was facing my second D.U.I. and a two year loss of my license. Since I also have a Commercial License that I use for work, if I was convicted of the D.U.I., I would have lost a lot of business and possibly have been destroyed financially. I had used a high-priced law firm for my first D.U.I. and was not happy with the results.

I had met Mr. Redden socially and liked his personality, knowledge of the law and his passion to win for his clients. I hired Mr. Redden - at a much lower fee than my previous lawyer - and he fought hard and got the D.U.I. charge dismissed.

I would recommend him to anyone with a legal problem, and I've referred family and friends to him.

 I was asked by a close family member to loan them a significant amount of money. Due to our close family relationship, I didn't get the loan in writing, and later the other person refused to repay me. It caused an extreme financial hardship for me and my family. People told me without a written contract, I would never get paid. I hired Mr. Redden to try and get my money back. He not only got my money paid back to me, he made the other person pay his attorneys fees. He did a great job.
