New Brunswick Criminal Defense Lawyer

Experienced New Jersey attorney provides strong counsel for accused individuals

If you’ve been charged with a crime, your freedom and reputation are on the line. Prosecutors might use a variety of tactics to pressure you into a guilty plea. This lets them walk away, but you have to live with the consequences. You deserve an experienced attorney who will preserve your rights and fight for the best possible outcome, rather than cutting a deal and moving on. At the Law Offices of Eric B. Morrell, I am a New Brunswick criminal defense lawyer who has been providing that type of dedicated, skillful counsel to Central Jersey clients for more than a quarter century. No matter the specific charge, you can count on me for strategic guidance and strong advocacy.

Charges my firm handles

You can rely on my firm for skillful, determined counsel in wide range of legal areas, including:

  • Drunk driving — Whether patrolling around the Easton Avenue bars or anywhere else in Central Jersey, police sometimes violate the rights of motorists as part of their DWI enforcement measures. I fight to exclude evidence that has been tainted or that was the product of an unlawful stop.
  • Drug crimes — In drug crimes defense, my firm pushes back against unsupported allegations and seeks alternatives to incarceration, such as substance abuse treatment, where possible. 
  • Assault and battery — Prosecutions for threatened or actual physical attacks might be based on incomplete information from police reports. If you believe you were wrongly charged because you were acting in self-defense or due to another reason, I can advise you of your options. 
  • Eluding police and vehicular assault — Serious criminal charges can arise when a motorist is accused of trying to elude a police officer or of committing assault by auto. By investigating the true facts of what occurred, my firm pursues dismissal or acquittal. 
  • Gun and weapon charges — If you’ve been charged with gun possession under New Jersey’s tough firearm laws, I will safeguard your fundamental rights and work to avoid an unjust outcome.
  • Homicide — Should you be accused of causing someone’s death, I have the knowledge and experience to defend you in a murder, manslaughter or vehicular homicide case. 
  • College student defense — For students at Rutgers, Princeton, TCNJ, Seton Hall, NJIT, Monmouth, Montclair State, Middlesex College and other schools around the area, I provide dedicated defense in criminal matters and against charges of sexual misconduct in Title IX proceedings. 
  • Juvenile law — New Jersey’s juvenile justice system is designed to focus on accountability while avoiding punishment that might make further problems more likely. You can rely on me for legal support that promotes a positive resolution based on the youth’s particular situation and needs. 
  • Expungement — Documentation relating to certain criminal proceedings can be removed from an individual’s record if statutory requirements are met. Whenever possible, I help clients seek expungements to help them avoid negative consequences years after an incident. 

Central Jersey has so much to offer, including some of the country’s finest hospitals and educational institutions. However, when you’re faced with criminal charges here, it can be difficult to know where to turn. That’s when you need someone who will stand up against unfair treatment from police and prosecutors. 

Firm serves residents of Central New Jersey

As an attorney exclusively focused on criminal defense law, part of my job is to help fellow community members understand their rights and make informed decisions about what is best for them. I’ve earned respect from clients because I won’t let them be intimidated by authorities. Drawing on a thorough knowledge of the law, as well as a familiarity with Central Jersey courts including those in Middlesex, Somerset and Union counties, I develop innovative arguments to counter the allegations and evidence brought against defendants. From start to finish, you will work with me personally. I offer cost-effective rates so that you can afford the exceptional representation you deserve.
