Free, Honest Case Evaluation: (732) 774-1212

Based in Bradley Beach, New Jersey, the law firm of Keith, Winters & Wenning, L.L.C. provides capable representation for citizens throughout New Jersey, including Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex County.

Our criminal law attorney is eminently qualified to protect your rights and shield you from the worst consequences of municipal court or superior court charges:

Our firm also represents clients in administrative license suspension hearings (DWI or too many traffic tickets), bail reduction hearings, and record expungement of past events.

Aggressive Representation

We ensure that clients are fully informed of their rights, and examine your case for indications that the police exceeded their authority or violated your constitutional rights. If we find evidence of impropriety in traffic stops, searches and seizure, field sobriety tests, blood-alcohol tests, line-ups, interrogations, or other phases of your arrest, we seek to have charges dismissed or reduced, or raise those issues before a jury.

While we are skilled at negotiating favorable plea agreements, every case is prepared for the possibility of a trial, where we have a record of success. Our goal is to avoid the worst penalties: jail or prison, loss of license, heavy fines, mandatory treatment, and a criminal record.
