As a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney since 1995 and NJ SUPER LAWYER Selectee, I primarily focus my law practice on criminal law. I handle complex, serious state & federal criminal cases including murder, assault, drug trafficking, sexual assault, fraud and official misconduct.

Not everyone charged with a crime is guilty and sometimes, even the best of people make mistakes. My aim is to provide the best legal representation available. I was also listed as America's Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys and one of the 10 Best Attorneys in New Jersey for Client Satisfaction by the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys.. Flat fee services and hourly payment plans are available, but the same depend on the complexity, seriousness, age and/or scheduling of the particular case.
After receiving my B.A. from Rutgers University, I chose to pursue my dream of becoming an attorney. While I was finishing up law school at Rutgers, I began an internship with a prominent criminal defense firm. Upon completion of law school and passing the bar exam, I immediately began representing clients and defending the constitution in our courts. After working as an associate until 2003, I opened my own law practice in 2003. In 2015, in an effort to better serve my client's differing legal needs, I chose to diversify my practice. I joined the law firm of Liebling Malamut, LLC as the head of the criminal practice group. I now specialize in all aspects of criminal defense including the most serious felony charges to the most minor municipal court charges. I personally handle each case; I do not transfer your important matter to a junior associate as many of the larger firms will often do. I am an expert on search and seizure law and will provide you with a vigorous defense in both State and Federal Court.. I have succesfully argued two matters before the NJ Supreme Court.. In the search and seizure area, I am particularly proud of one of my major accomplishments on behalf of a client. In 2013, I argued the matter of State v. Brown, 216 N.J. 508 (2014). In that case, the State attempted to justify the illegal search of a home based on an argument that the house was abondoned. I was able to convince the NJ Supreme Court that the house was not an abandoned home and thus the search was in violation of my client's constitutional rights.. I likewise successfully argued another matter in the NJ Supreme Court whereby the State was attempting to disbar my attorney client. I was able to keep the attorney from being disbarred. The matter resulted in a suspension only, thereby preserving my client's ability to earn a living for he and his family.. I appeared on the Nancy Grace show as an expert commentator with regard the the murder case of State v. Fred Neulander. Mr. Neulander was a Rabbi who was at the time on trial for hiring a hitman to murder his wife. He was ultimately convicted and is serivng a life sentence.
