Criminal Law Forms Available to Help Attorneys

Service to educate and improve the Bar has been important to me over the past 25 years. I recently spoke as a volunteer at the NJ ICLE seminars Municipal Court College, Handling Drug, DWI & Serious Motor Vehicle Violations in Municipal Court and Representing the Criminal Defendant. The speakers such as myself are all volunteers and devote many hours to preparing quality materials and forms on CD to be used by our members. I also make these forms and articles available to attorneys who need help criminal, traffic and motor vehicle cases. Its about helping others. Please email my office which form you need, up to 5 forms.
