Sea Isle City Criminal Attorney

Seasoned Criminal Lawyer Fights Serious Charges for Clients in Sea Isle City and throughout Cape May County, NJ

Consider what can happen if you are arrested and charged with a criminal offense in New Jersey: you run the risk of going to jail, being forced to pay harsh fines, possibly losing your driving privileges and having a criminal record that could prevent you from getting a good job or a loan or an apartment. These days, everyone checks criminal records online before approving anyone for anything important. Further, if you are convicted of a sex crime, you will be forced to register with the national sex registry, in accordance with Megan’s Law, for the foreseeable future.

If you or a loved one is facing serious criminal charges, your first call should be to John W. Tumelty, an attorney with more than 35 years of experience negotiating with prosecutors and fighting in a courtroom for his clients. He is a former prosecutor himself, so he understands what it takes to convict someone of a crime. Mr. Tumelty will put that inside knowledge and experience for you defending you of your charges and protecting your freedom.
