Northern New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyer
Susan C. Cassell

The Best Defense Is a Good Offense

If you've been arrested and are facing criminal charges, chances are you're feeling scared. You may be feeling guilty — even if you're not — because you've found yourself in this position. You might be embarrassed about what others may think.

Criminal charges bring up a lot of emotions and a lot of questions. It is important to have an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands what you are going through and knows what may be at stake.

I, Susan C. Cassell, have been a practicing attorney for more than 20 years. Contact me at my law office in Ridgewood (near Paramus) if you need aggressive criminal defense representation in any federal, state or municipal court in northern New Jersey, or in a state or federal court in New York. I help people just like you seek the reduction or dismissal of criminal charges, lower sentences and acquittal.

Former Long-Term Federal and Municipal Prosecutor

I am a former federal prosecutor as well as a former municipal prosecutor. This gives me a great deal of insight into how prosecutors think. I understand the internal politics of the office and what strategies to use to maximize your chances of a positive outcome.

As your criminal defense attorney, I will give an accurate picture of what to expect and keep in close communication with you throughout your case, which saves you a lot of trouble and worry.
