Crime Victim Advocacy Attorney in New Jersey

If you have been a victim of a crime, know that you are not alone, and there are advocates ready to support you during this difficult time. At LACE Law LLC, we understand how overwhelming and traumatic the aftermath of a crime can be. It can be confusing to know what to do, whether to pursue criminal charges, and other related matters.

Our New Jersey criminal defense team advocates for the rights of crime victims, guiding you through the legal process, seeking justice, and ensuring your voice is heard.

Can You Stop the Prosecution from Pursuing Charges?

As a victim, you cannot simply stop the prosecution from pursuing charges. Even if you inform the authorities that you do not want to testify in the case, they can still move forward if they have sufficient evidence to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. In this situation, discuss your rights with our victim’s rights attorney.

Our experienced attorney can assist you in communicating your wishes to the prosecutor in proper and legal avenues. We can advocate on your behalf and work toward achieving the best possible outcome for everyone involved.

Protecting Your Voice as a Crime Victim

If you feel that your concerns are not being heard or addressed effectively, our attorneys can advocate for you and ensure that the authorities respect your rights as a victim. We will work tirelessly to amplify your voice and seek the justice you deserve.

You have the right to retain your own attorney to represent your interests as a victim. Our experienced firm can provide you with the necessary legal support. If you are dissatisfied with the pace of the case or feel that no progress is being made, our attorneys can provide valuable insight into the criminal justice process and law enforcement procedures, and ensure that your voice is heard and responded to truthfully and appropriately.

Our attorney can accompany you to court dates and provide representation during the legal proceedings. You can rely on our team to support you every step of the way. If you feel unsafe and believe the criminal justice system is not adequately addressing your concerns, we can represent you in obtaining a restraining order. If you do not qualify for one, you may also be eligible for a VASPA. We will explore all available options to support you throughout the legal process.

Our team is dedicated to protecting your voice and your rights as a survivor of domestic violence in New Jersey. We understand the fear, confusion, and trauma that can follow abuse—and we’re here to stand by you every step of the way. As experienced crime victim advocates, we work to ensure your story is heard, your safety is prioritized, and your legal options are fully pursued.

As a Former Prosecutor Our Attorney Can Help You Find Your Voice

In September 2015 I began as a prosecutor in Burlington County. I started in the juvenile unit and was quickly moved to the trial litigation unit where I tried a homicide as my first jury trial to a successful verdict. From there, I worked in the trial litigation unit until December 2019 when I moved to the Atlantic County Prosecutors Office. At ACPO I also worked in the trial litigation unit until early 2023 I was moved to the Special Victims Unit which handled sex crimes and crimes against children. I worked their until I started my practice in January 2024.
