Aggressive Criminal Defense Across Essex County
We Defend the Full Range of Criminal Charges
At Scott V. Spina Law, we provide strategic, results-driven criminal defense tailored to your situation. No matter what charges you are facing, our firm is committed to protecting your rights, challenging the prosecution’s case, and fighting for the best possible outcome.
A restraining order — temporary or final — can disrupt your housing, employment, and your relationship with your children. We work aggressively to challenge TROs at hearings and prevent FROs from taking permanent effect.
Financial crime allegations — including embezzlement, fraud, and money laundering — can result in federal prosecution, significant jail time, and career-ending consequences. We dig into the financial records, challenge the prosecution’s evidence, and build a rigorous defense.
Disorderly persons offenses may seem minor, but a conviction carries fines, potential jail time, and a permanent criminal record. We take these cases seriously and work to protect your record and your future.
Insurance fraud charges can result in felony prosecution, heavy fines, and prison time. We investigate the facts, identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and work to secure the most favorable resolution possible.
Assault and terroristic threat charges are aggressively prosecuted in New Jersey and can carry multi-year prison sentences. We challenge witness credibility, examine the evidence, and build the strongest possible defense for your case.
Domestic violence charges can permanently alter your life — affecting your housing, your children, and your freedom. These cases require careful strategy and an attorney who understands the legal and personal stakes. We are here to protect your rights and fight for a fair outcome.
Assault charges in New Jersey range from simple assault to aggravated assault — each carrying serious consequences. We examine every detail of the incident, challenge the evidence and witness accounts, and pursue the best possible outcome for your case.
A DWI conviction in New Jersey means license suspension, fines, potential jail time, and a lasting record. We scrutinize the stop, the field sobriety test, and the breathalyzer results to identify every possible defense — and fight to minimize or eliminate the impact on your life.
Sex crime charges carry severe penalties and lifelong consequences — including sex offender registration. These cases require an experienced, discreet defense attorney. We protect your constitutional rights at every stage and fight aggressively for the best possible outcome.
Grand larceny is a felony charge that can mean significant prison time and a permanent record. We thoroughly investigate the facts, challenge the prosecution’s evidence and valuation claims, and pursue every avenue to reduce the charges or secure a dismissal.
Even a petit larceny conviction can result in fines, jail time, and a criminal record that follows you. We take every case seriously and work to protect your record — pursuing dismissals, downgrades, or the most favorable resolution available under New Jersey law.
