Whether you have been charged with a violation, a misdemeanor, or a felony, Alber & Loglisci can protect your legal rights and provide the quality defense you need. No criminal charge is so minor that an individual should proceed without proper legal representation. Even violations can carry a jail sentence. The attorneys at Alber & Loglisci will guide and assist you through every step of your criminal proceeding, providing the legal skill and zealous advocacy essential to a winning defense.

From the moment you are arrested, it is recommended that you immediately contact an attorney who can effectively counsel you in a way that will put your case on a proper track. Within 24 hours of an arrest, a person is brought before a judge for arraignment. This is the process by which a defendant is formally advised of his or her rights as well as the charges being brought. During this process the amount of bail, if any, is set, and the custody of the defendant is determined. For this reason, it is important to have a qualified attorney present to look out for your best interests. Our attorneys have the knowledge and legal expertise to ensure that this process goes as smoothly as possible.

Alber & Loglisci will render the effective legal representation necessary to protect your rights and provide you with a proper defense from the moment of arrest, through arraignment and all subsequent phases of the legal process, including trial when necessary. Included in this representation is effective plea bargaining. This is where the defense attorney and the prosecutor enter into an agreement (with the court’s approval) whereby the defendant pleads guilty to a lesser offense than the one charged in exchange for a lower sentence than a jury might otherwise impose if the case were to go through the entire trial process. Effective attorneys must consider a variety of factors when deciding whether a plea bargain is the proper course of action for a particular defendant. Alber & Loglisci will consider such factors as the likelihood of a conviction, the strength of the defense’s case, the potential sentence if convicted, as well as the likely cost to the defendant should the case proceed to trial. In doing so, our clients will be armed with the information and expertise necessary to select the appropriate course of action for a proper defense.
