Violent Crimes

At Malamut & Associates, we understand that criminal charges and convictions can have devastating effects on your life. You may be fired from your job or hurt your ability to get employment in the future. Most importantly, you could lose your freedom. It can seem like everyone is against you. A person charged with a crime may feel powerless, friendless, and alone. The police are against them. The judge is against them.

In New Jersey, if you are charged with specific violent crimes, you may be subject to the No Early Release Act. This law requires individuals convicted of specified 1st or 2nd degree crimes to serve 85% of the sentence imposed by the court before becoming eligible for parole. The charges subject to the No Early Release Act include homicide, aggravated assault, disarming a law enforcement officer, kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, robbery, carjacking, aggravated arson, burglary, extortion, booby traps in manufacturing or distribution facilities, drug induced deaths, terrorism, and racketeering. The law also requires individuals sentenced under the No Early Release Act to serve a period of supervised parole following their release from prison. Good counsel can mean the difference between years of legal entanglement and freedom. Do not hesitate to retain quality counsel.
