Lawrenceville Criminal Defense Attorneys

Q: What effect does reversal and remand have on an original indictment? Is it still in force or does the government need to issue a new indictment? Are the conditions relating to the original indictment (bond/supervision) still in force?

A: IF a conviction has been reversed in its entirety (not one out of three charges), and remanded, it typically means that the prosecutor goes forward again to trial with the indictment as drawn. No new indictment need be drawn, unless the reason it was reversed was the language in the indictment. The conditions relating to the bond are still in effect.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
