We believe that, amongst criminal defense law firms in Bergen County, this is a uniquely personal approach. We know it drives results.

The Hackensack Criminal Defense Law Firm that Knows North Jersey
Criminal charges are structured differently in New Jersey than in the rest of the country. New Jersey considers what most of the nation calls a “felony” to be, simply, a “crime.” This blanket approach means the State can take the position against that you may not have much room to argue your defense. If you have been charged with a crime, you need a Bergen County criminal law firm that knows how to combat the position of the courts.
At the Law Offices of Benjamin G. Kelsen, Esq. LLC, we take the time to listen to our clients and make sure they understand the legal issues involved in their situation. Our primary concern is protecting our clients’ rights and interests whether we are helping them with a DUI charge or drafting a will, negotiating an accident claim with an insurance company or representing them in a careless driving case.
