Case Study

Background

Our client faced serious legal issues, including charges of conspiracy and theft by deception, classified as fourth-degree crimes under New Jersey law. The allegations stemmed from an incident involving the alleged mishandling and fraudulent use of gift cards. These charges carried the potential for significant legal consequences, including up to 18 months in prison for each fourth-degree offense.

Legal Challenge

The client’s situation was particularly challenging due to the nature of the indictable offenses, which are considered felonies in New Jersey. The client’s primary concern included the possibility of a criminal record, which could severely impact the client’s future employment opportunities and personal life.

Rosenblum Law’s Strategy

Our legal team at Rosenblum Law immediately began crafting a defense strategy aimed at minimizing the charges. We engaged in detailed discussions with the prosecutor’s office, emphasizing the client’s lack of prior criminal history and the circumstances surrounding the alleged offenses. Our goal was to achieve a dismissal of the indictable charges or, at the very least, a reduction to a lesser offense.

Outcome

Through persistent negotiation and legal expertise, we successfully secured the dismissal of all indictable charges against the client. This outcome was a significant relief, as it prevented the client from facing a felony conviction and the associated penalties. Additionally, the dismissal allowed for an automatic expungement of the charges, ensuring that the client’s record remained clear.

Conclusion

This case underscores Rosenblum Law’s dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients. Our team’s comprehensive understanding of New Jersey’s criminal justice system and our strategic approach enabled us to protect the client’s future.
