“There were no witches in Salem, Mass. in 1692, and three white Duke University lacrosse players did not rape a black stripper at a party in 2006.” – Pittsburgh Tribune Review, 4/18/2007
There is no better illustration of how our legal system can spin out of control than the Duke Lacrosse case.
Three athletes were accused of rape. A prosecutor up for re-election aggressively pushed the case forward despite the absence of evidence and the flimsiness of the woman’s story. And the media, recognizing a story that fits perfectly into preconceived social narratives, almost immediately portrayed the defendants’ guilt as inevitable.
Fortunately for the three defendants, their attorneys ignored the political pressure, the biased media coverage and opportunistic protestors, and instead focused on providing their clients with solid legal defense.
The Duke Lacrosse case also serves an example of how important it is for people accused of crimes to have experienced legal counsel right away.
Experienced criminal defense attorneys do much more than simply cross-examine witnesses. They understand local and state interpretations of federal laws. They know when an arrest occurred under improper or unlawful circumstances. They know the methods and tactics of the prosecutors that their clients are facing. They have the resources to investigate every aspect of the prosecutor’s case, including the witnesses and the testimony that they will give in court. They will give you a frank and objective analysis of your case, and will advise you on a course to take that is the best for you instead of simply convenient to them.

We believe that every American accused of a crime deserves a first-rate defense. We are currently accepting cases involving:
Assault occurs when one person makes a willful attempt to threaten or injure another person. An assault charge can be brought even if the offending party does not actually strike or physically injure the victim. The severity of the penalty can depend on the degree of damage inflicted by the result; for example, there is a difference between bodily harm and grievous bodily harm, and they are punished accordingly. To find out how our attorneys can help you, contact our offices today.
The possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs is prohibited by federal law. Strict penalties are often imposed on offenders, including mandatory prison terms for many convictions. The harshest sentences are generally reserved for those found guilty of producing, selling, or transporting illegal drugs, but possession, even in small amounts for personal use, can also have serious criminal repercussions. Our attorneys can offer smart and forward thinking defense for any drug charges. If you have been accused of a drug crime, contact our offices today.
Domestic violence occurs when one person in an intimate relationship either causes or threatens harm to his or her partner. Specific examples of domestic violence include coercion, harassment, holding one’s partner against his or her will, and forced sexual acts. Any such act of control through force, intimidation, or threat of violence may be grounds for domestic violence charges. If you have been involved in or affected by domestic violence and need legal assistance, the criminal attorneys at Brunnock & Fleming can help get you the protection and justice you deserve.
It seems unfair that an incident that occurred when you were a teenager can haunt you for the rest of your life. Those who have committed felonies have to pay for it every time they apply for a job, a loan, or a line of credit, or even if they want to vote on who sits on their children’s school board. If you have a crime or felony on your record and would like to see it permanently removed, the criminal law experts at Brunnock & Fleming may be able to help. Under New Jersey law, most of the records on file with any court, correctional facility, and law enforcement or criminal justice agency in connection with a person’s apprehension, arrest, detention, trial, or disposition may be extracted. There are some exceptions, however. If you believe you may be eligible to have part of your record expunged, please contact our criminal attorneys in New Jersey.
If you have been charged with a crime involving a weapon, you could be faced with an extensive jail or prison term. Even if you are not incarcerated, you could face substantial fines and lose the right to own a weapon. If you have been charged with the illegal possession of a weapon, using a weapon to commit an offense, or carelessly storing a firearm, please contact Brunnock & Fleming for a free evaluation of your case.

The New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) keeps detailed records of every driver in the state. If you commit certain moving violations, the agency will add points to your driving record. The more serious the violation, the greater number of points assessed. If your record has been negatively affected by a moving violation, please contact the Law Firm of Brunnock & Fleming today for assistance.
Driving with a Suspended License or without Insurance: Driving with a suspended license is a serious traffic violation. Each year, thousands of New Jersey motorists are stopped for routine traffic violations only to learn that their licenses had been suspended. While the DMV has proven itself very capable at suspending drivers, it is not as skilled at notifying drivers when their licenses have been temporarily revoked. State statutes mandate that you cannot operate a motor vehicle with a suspended license or registration that has been revoked. Likewise, the state of New Jersey requires that you have liability insurance when operating a motor vehicle. Are you facing charges of driving with a suspended license or without insurance?
