Family Law

• Divorce
  Divorce can be costly and time-consuming. Divorce mediation law can resolve disputes before they reach the stage of litigation and trial. The process of divorce mediation (sometimes referred to as family mediation) is a less time-intensive and more inexpensive alternative to traditional divorce settlement or litigation. The rules of court proceedings are relaxed and the process is less formal.
• Child Support
  Most non-custodial parents want to provide for their children, and understand the importance of meeting their child support obligation. But what happens if you lose your job, or you are self-employed and can’t get a customer to pay you? What can you do to minimize the potential problems?
• Child Custody and Visitation
  Disputes between parents over issues of child custody and parenting time can often be the most difficult issues to resolve in a divorce case. Many parents feel threatened by the possibility of a diminished role in their children’s lives, and in some situations, there is good reason for these concerns.
• Spousal Support
  Spousal support or alimony is no longer routinely awarded in New Jersey divorces, but there are still situations in which a spouse with a regular income will be expected to support a financially weaker spouse for a limited or even indefinite period. In those situations, it is common to negotiate property division and alimony issues together, and concessions of one can often lead to benefits of the other. We encourage clients to keep in mind that a practical approach to property division can accomplish a great deal toward reducing the expense and stress of divorce.
• Legal Separation
  If your marriage isn’t working, the typical response is to legally end it by filing for divorce. There may, however, be reasons why you might want to file for legal separation without officially terminating the marriage.
• Annulment
  If your marriage is over, you can always file for divorce. But what about an annulment? What is an annulment and when is it an option?

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Whether the offense you have been charged with originates as an indictable offense or a disorderly persons charge, it is often an advantage to keep the case in municipal court whenever possible. To learn how our experience with municipal court practice in South Jersey can work to your benefit, contact the criminal defense lawyers of Taylor & Boguski in Mount Laurel.
• DUI/DWI
  With some of the toughest drunk driving laws in the nation, New Jersey makes it very difficult for a driver charged with drunk driving to avoid a driver’s license suspension upon conviction.
• Wrongful Death
  If your family has suffered a loss because of an accident or another’s negligence, you have enough to go through without the additional burdens of a wrongful death lawsuit. Nevertheless, the insurance companies and defense lawyers who will respond to your potential claims will lose no time in gathering and developing evidence, interviewing witnesses and engaging experts to analyze the technical aspects of the case.
• Traffic Violations
  Although most people don’t think of them as crimes, traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly when a driver is accused of driving under the influence. These traffic-related cases can become part of a criminal record, and it is crucial to have experienced legal help. A license suspension can happen when a driver receives several minor tickets or, in some cases, one serious ticket. A conviction of a traffic offense such as reckless driving, speeding, or driving with a suspended license will result in fines and may affect your driving record and increase your insurance rates.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  While the criminal justice systems of most states distinguish between felonies and misdemeanors, New Jersey uses a different basis of distinction between the most serious offenses and less serious crimes. Our state uses the term “indictable offenses” to apply to crimes charged and resolved in Superior Court, while offenses that expose the defendant to lesser punishment are covered under the catchall term “disorderly persons” offenses, which are heard in municipal court.
• Drug Crimes
  For many offenses heard in municipal court, the judge has wide discretion to match sentences to the specific characteristics of the offense and the offender. With more than 65 years of combined experience in municipal court practice, the attorneys of Taylor & Boguski can give you a good idea whether this discretion is likely to work in your favor under the facts of your case in a particular location.
• Assault
  To work with experienced lawyers who can protect your interests in cases of domestic assault, family violence or restraining order violations, contact Taylor & Boguski in Mount Laurel. We work with clients facing exposure to punishment in these cases in both municipal court and Superior Court. Examples of the kinds of cases we handle include...
• Shoplifting
  We conduct a variety of traffic violations, including driving without a license, license suspension, speeding, reckless and careless driving, improper or excessive lane changing, improper passing, including failing to signal intent, using an emergency lane to pass, or passing on the shoulder, municipal assault, shoplifting and trespassing.
• Restraining Order
  If you have had a restraining order or order for protection entered against you, make sure that you understand what it covers. For example, re-entering your own property to remove your own personal belongings will usually be prohibited under the terms of a restraining order, and repeat violations can result in mandatory jail time. Our lawyers can protect your interests while developing the case for termination or modification of the restraining order in place against you.

• Sexual Harassment
  For example, a worker who suffers retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim or whose sexual harassment problems on the job are not taken seriously by management can often experience anxiety or depression that could require professional treatment. Some people who survive car accidents are afraid of driving or even riding in a vehicle for months or even years after the accident. Anyone who has witnessed the death of a family member in a car crash can be expected to have suffered a severe emotional trauma, and New Jersey law recognizes that person’s right to damages.

• Medical Malpractice

• Auto Accidents
