Criminal:

Criminal cases consist of matters where an individual (or, sometimes, another legal entity, such as a corporation) is charged with a violation of the criminal law.  In New Jersey, criminal cases are divided into four categories, with First Degree crimes being the most serious (and subject to the heaviest penalties) and with Fourth Degree crimes being the least serious (and subject to lesser penalties).  Despite the differences in degrees, all criminal cases have one thing in common: a conviction in any criminal case can result in incarceration in the state prison.  If you find yourself on the "wrong side of the law", you need an attorney who will fight to obtain the best possible result for you.  Jay A. Yanavok, Esq. is a seasoned criminal defense attorney who has helped hundreds of clients avoid incarceration.  Should you be facing criminal charges, Jay is available to assist you to obtain the best result possible in your case.

Municipal:

In New Jersey, Municipal Courts handle a wide variety of matters, including disorderly persons offenses, petty disorderly persons offenses, municipal ordinance violations, and traffic violations (everything from parking tickets to driving while intoxicated).  Many of the matters heard by the Municipal Courts involve substantial penalties, including incarceration in the county jail, large fines, and lengthy loss of driving privileges.  During his career, Jay A. Yanavok, Esq. has appeared in Municipal Courts throughout the State thousands of times on behalf of thousands of clients.  Jay is available to assist you on any Municipal Court matter in which you might be involved and to help you to obtain the best result possible in your case.

Expungements:

People sometimes make mistakes, especially when they're young and inexperienced.  Many times, those mistakes result in an arrest and a criminal conviction.  Having a criminal record can cause loss of employment opportunities and other negative consequences which can stay with you for life.  There is, however, a lawful means by which to forever erase a prior arrest and conviction record and that process is known as an "expungement".  Not all people can qualify for an expungement and not all arrest and conviction records can be expunged.  During his career, Jay A. Yanavok, Esq. has helped thousands of people to be free of the negative consequences resulting from an arrest and conviction by having their record expunged.  Jay is available to discuss expungement with you and, if you qualify, to assist you in obtaining an expungement of your prior arrest and conviction record.
