Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: Hindering

This question cannot be answered without more information. What degree of hindering were you charged with, do you have a prior record, what are the facts of the case? Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for just talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-

Re: Hindering

Hindering can be a crime or a disorderly persons offense. I need the exact language of your complaint and the statute number to be precise, but I would say that giving false information where there is no serious crime sought to conceal is a disorderly person offense with a maximum jail sentence of six months.

Call me if you like.

Re: Hindering

The level of the hindering charge is based on what you are charged with hindering. The basic, low-level hindering charge is what is called a disorderly persons charge which carries a maximum sentence of 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Other levels are much more serious. If you are charged with hindering, you should speak with a lawyer. Call me if you would like to discuss it further at 877*688*3879.
