- Spousal SupportIf there is a significant disparity in the economic positions of two spouses, alimony (also known as spousal support or maintenance) will almost certainly be an issue in a divorce case. The immediate determination will be how much one spouse should pay to the other to help support them until they can obtain the education or training to support themselves. Most cases have an end-date for alimony payments. However, in cases involving long marriages, very high assets, or one spouse who cannot work, alimony may continue on indefinitely.
- Child AbuseMinors in the Car – When a child was present inside the vehicle of a person who is convicted of drunk driving, charges relating to the conduct and duty owed to the child will be added to the charge. These charges can range from disorderly conduct to child abuse and neglect and carry serious potential consequences in addition to the DWI penalties themselves.

- Wrongful DeathFleischer Law Firm has expert Somerset County wrongful death Lawyers, ready to serve your case at a moments notice. Losing a loved one can be one of the most traumatic events you can experience. What makes it even more difficult is when the loss is the result of someone’s reckless or careless actions. You could face a myriad of emotions: grief, anger, confusion, and fear. You may be lost and not know where to go next.
- Traffic ViolationsHowever, it is always a good idea to wear one earbud and keep the other ear free to be more aware of possible hazards or sirens. If you are wearing headphones and listening to music loudly while driving and caused a collision, law enforcement could issue a traffic citation for distracted driving, careless driving, or even reckless driving under certain circumstances. These citations can result in points on your license, costly fines and surcharges, and may even contribute to the suspension of your driver’s license. For these reasons and for safety purposes, it is advisable to keep one ear open while driving in NJ.
- Sex CrimesFleischer Law Firm has Somerset County Drug Charges Lawyers that specialize specifically in drug charges. In the past, offenders were subject to an automatic, categorical exclusion from the treatment–in-lieu of imprisonment program by virtue of their second degree robbery or burglary conviction. It is critical to note, however, that persons who have previously been convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for, or who have a pending charge of certain other specified crimes continue to be ineligible for special probation. The list of disqualifying offenses includes any violent crime (murder, aggravated manslaughter, manslaughter, kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated sexual assault and sexual assault).
- RobberyThe fact that a defendant may not be categorically ineligible to be sentenced to special probation does not mean that he or she has a right to be admitted to Drug Court. Rather, a person convicted of a non-violent, second degree robbery or second degree burglary still has a presumption of imprisonment, but also has the right to have the court consider at sentencing the use of Drug Court as a means to avoid the presumption of imprisonment. The decision of whether to admit a defendant to the Drug Court program is by no means guaranteed. Rather, the actual admission decision will account for numerous factors to be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Drug Court team and the Judge. An experienced criminal defense attorney can advise whether a defendant may be eligible for this program and advocate for his admission
