Bergen County, 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 have been a practicing attorney for more than 20 years. I provide aggressive criminal representation to people in northern New Jersey and New York federal, state and municipal courts. 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.
