At the Law Offices of Anthony J. Vecchio, LLC, we understand that being charged with a crime is a terrifying experience. The stakes are high, the process is confusing, and the consequences can follow you for the rest of your life. Our firm was built on the belief that you deserve more than a lawyer who simply processes cases.

When a case must go to trial, he is a skilled and confident trial lawyer who is not afraid to confront the evidence head-on.

We represent clients charged with offenses ranging from simple assault and misdemeanor possession to serious felonies, domestic violence, restraining orders, and weapons charges.

Our office is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We know that arrests happen at all hours, and we will be there when you need us most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after being arrested in New Jersey?
Exercise your right to remain silent. Do not speak to police officers or investigators without an attorney present. Politely but firmly state that you are invoking your right to counsel, then call our office immediately. Anything you say can be used against you, so the best thing you can do is say nothing and let attorney Vecchio speak on your behalf.
What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, crimes are classified as indictable offenses (similar to felonies) and disorderly persons offenses (similar to misdemeanors). Indictable offenses are tried in Superior Court and carry more serious penalties, while disorderly persons offenses are handled in municipal court. Both can have lasting consequences on your record, employment, and reputation, which is why aggressive defense is critical at every level.
Can a domestic violence charge be dropped if the alleged victim does not want to press charges?
In New Jersey, the decision to prosecute a domestic violence case rests with the state, not the alleged victim. Even if the victim does not want to proceed, the prosecutor can choose to move forward with charges. However, an experienced domestic violence defense lawyer can challenge the evidence, advocate for case dismissal, and work to achieve the best outcome possible given the circumstances.
What is a Final Restraining Order (FRO) and how can I fight one?
A Final Restraining Order in New Jersey is a permanent court order with serious consequences, including firearm restrictions and a permanent record. Fighting an FRO requires presenting evidence at a hearing before a judge. Attorney Vecchio has experience challenging FRO hearings, cross-examining witnesses, and presenting a strong defense to protect your rights and reputation.
Am I eligible for expungement in New Jersey?
Eligibility for expungement depends on the nature of the offense, how much time has passed, and your overall criminal history. New Jersey has relatively broad expungement laws that allow many individuals to clear their records after satisfying certain waiting periods. Contact our office for a consultation to determine whether you qualify and how the expungement process works in your specific situation.
Does attorney Vecchio handle cases outside of Hamilton Township?
Yes. While the firm is based in Hamilton Township, attorney Vecchio represents clients throughout the state of New Jersey. If you are facing criminal charges anywhere in New Jersey, we encourage you to reach out and discuss how we can help.
