- Child SupportOne of the most serious traffic violations in NJ is driving while suspended. Your license can be suspended for many reasons including point accumulation, failure to pay child support, DUI, reckless driving, failure to appear in traffic court, not having insurance, as well as others. If you have a suspended driver's license, the best decision is obviously to avoid driving altogether. However, many people are not even aware that their license has been suspended and are surprised when a police officer issues them a ticket or even places them under arrest for driving with a suspended license.

- Traffic ViolationsIf you are a licensed driver, chances are you will receive a traffic violation at some point. Police officers in New Jersey are always on the lookout for drivers who are violating the law and, if they suspect you have committed a violation, they can stop you. While some traffic stops can result in a ticket, others can result in far more serious consequences including an arrest and serious allegations against you. Even a seemingly simple ticket can end up costing you a lot of money or even cause you to lose your license if you are not careful.

- MisdemeanorsA disorderly persons offense in New Jersey is similar to a misdemeanor offense in other states and these cases are handled in municipal courts. Because these offenses are heard by municipal courts and because they are called “offenses” instead of “crimes,” too many people facing these charges believe that they do not need an attorney to handle their case. However, municipal judges have the authority to sentence individuals to up to 6 months in jail and impose a fine of up to $1,000. These potential consequences are serious, so you should always seek legal assistance if you have been accused of any of these offenses.
- Drug CrimesPeople who are convicted of drug crimes are often facing extremely serious legal and personal/professional consequences. The penalties associated with even relatively minor and low-level drug offenses can be extremely severe, and many drug offenders are punished more harshly than violent criminals who commit offenses that intuitively seem much more serious. Some of the penalties associated with New Jersey drug offenses include the following...
- AssaultSimple assault is a disorderly persons offense, unless it occurs in the context of a fight or scuffle that was entered into by mutual consent, in which case it is a petty disorderly persons offense.
- ShopliftingTheft offenses are charged as a disorderly persons offense if the stolen property is valued at less than $200. Theft crimes can involve shoplifting, physically taking property, taking property by deception of fraud, and similar tactics. If convicted, theft offenders may face probation, fines, or even jail time and the consequences will increase if there are previous theft convictions. Defense attorney Daniel R. Danzi will work tirelessly to gather evidence in your defense in order to have your case dismissed or significantly limit the penalties you face. For example, we can present evidence that you did not have the intent to steal the property or that police arrested the wrong person for the theft. In addition, we know how to negotiate with municipal prosecutors for a favorable plea bargain to limit the penalties you face.

- Property DamageCar accidents are regularly among the most common cause of accidental injury throughout the state of New Jersey.

Additionally, many people who are seriously injured in car accidents experience physical and emotional pain and suffering and may be unable to enjoy the things they once did. Thankfully, New Jersey law often entitles people that have been hurt in car accidents to compensation for these and other losses, so victims should be sure to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
- Personal InjuryContingency fee agreements are generally reserved for personal injury cases. In a contingency fee arrangement, the fee is based on a percentage of the net recovery. The net recovery is the total recovered on the client's behalf, minus the costs and expenses. Pursuant to Rule 4:42-11(b), an attorney must follow certain guidelines. The client can enter into an alternative fee plan whereby the client pays an attorney an hourly rate.
- Medical MalpracticeWhen New Jersey residents seek medical treatment, they rightfully expect that their medical condition will be properly diagnosed and that any treatment they receive will make them better, not worse. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, and every year thousands of people throughout the state are hurt by medical malpractice. Medical malpractice is a type of professional negligence that occurs when a medical professional violates the accepted standard of care. What makes medical malpractice cases different from ordinary injury cases is that this standard must be established through the use of expert testimony, as judges and juries typically do not have the specialized knowledge required to determine whether a particular medical professional acted negligently.
