A criminal charge or serious traffic violation can cost you your license, your job, your immigration status, or your freedom. At García Law, we build every defense as if it's going to trial — which is how we pursue favorable resolutions for the cases that settle.
Kaefer Garcia served in the Newark Prosecutor's Office, Passaic County Prosecutor's Office, and as a Municipal Public Defender before founding the firm. We know how the other side thinks because we used to be the other side.
Our Criminal & Traffic Services
DUI/DWI Defense
Protecting your license and minimizing consequences. NJ and NY have some of the toughest DWI penalties in the country — you need a defense built for them.
Drug Crimes
Defense against possession, distribution, and trafficking charges. Challenging search-and-seizure issues is often the difference between a conviction and a dismissal.
Assault & Violent Crimes
Representation for misdemeanor and felony charges, from simple assault to aggravated assault and domestic violence cases.
Traffic Violations
CDL protection, reckless driving, driving while suspended, and moving violations that threaten your license points.
Expungements
Clearing your record so old charges don't block jobs, licenses, or housing. NJ's expungement rules expanded significantly in 2019 — many people who think they're ineligible actually qualify now.
How We Approach Criminal & Traffic Cases
Aggressive Courtroom Representation
We don't plea out the first offer. We investigate, file motions, and take cases to trial when that's what the facts demand.
Deep Knowledge of NJ & NY Laws
Admitted in both states, with years of prosecutor and public defender experience before private practice.
Dedicated Legal Team
The attorney you meet at the consultation is the attorney who represents you in court.
