CJP in Passaic County and The Detention Hearing Set the Entire Tone for Your Criminal Case. It is a fact that those detained during the criminal process obtain harsher sentences and have higher rates of committing more crimes in the future. The Detention Hearing is your chance to show your side of the case so that the Judge can understand what really happened. It is important to study the PSA (public safety assessment), the evidence, will the witnesses show up to court? Are the victims' scared? Many aspects need to come out for the court to understand the true circumstances.

While we can discuss all of the charges and the steps in a detention hearing in Passaic County, it is more important for you to call a successful defense attorney to explain what your loved one is facing and how we can help.
