Indicted for Aggravated Assault in Ocean County

Once your case has been sent to the Ocean County Criminal Division Manager’s office and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, it will be reviewed. The Prosecutor will determine whether your case should be sent before the Grand Jury for indictment or remanded back to Municipal Court. This is a vital and strategic step in the adjudication of your case because a proactive, experienced attorney will try to work with the prosecutor before the case is indicted to negotiate a favorable result.

In our experience it is very advantageous for our clients when we work with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office to resolve your case in the early stages rather than wait for your case to go before grand jury for indictment.
