Protecting Rights of the Accused in Flemington, NJ

Our Flemington criminal defense attorneys understand that being charged with a crime is a serious matter and one that shouldn’t be faced alone. The mere fact of being charged with a crime can have a negative impact on your reputation and well-being, and the consequences of being found guilty are life-altering. If you are charged with a crime in Flemington, NJ, or the immediate area, an experienced criminal defense attorney familiar with the local court systems can offer you the best defense.

Although our justice system is based on the principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty, it doesn’t always seem that way. Criminal charges cast suspicion upon the person being accused. Those suspicions could be damaging in terms of reputation, career, and family. An experienced criminal defense attorney can guide you through the overwhelming criminal court process and see that your rights are protected throughout the ordeal.

Messrs. Kearns and Rotolo each have decades of experience with the criminal court system. They, together with the other attorneys and legal staff at Kearns Rotolo Law, will work diligently to ensure you receive fair treatment from the moment you are charged through your trial, if necessary.

Anthony Kearns, Former Two-Term Hunterdon County Prosecutor

Anthony Kearns’ experience as the longest serving Hunterdon County Prosecutor and now as a defense attorney gives him a unique perspective from both sides of the criminal justice system. As Prosecutor, Mr. Kearns led a team of assistant prosecutors and detectives with the goal of investigating, prosecuting, and preventing criminal activities in Flemington and throughout Hunterdon County. Through this experience, he gained insight into the way the State prepares its cases, which he now uses to mount powerful defenses for charges filed against his clients. He is well-respected and has earned a reputation among Hunterdon County criminal court officials as a fair and compassionate attorney.

Victor Rotolo, Experienced Trial Attorney and Former Police Officer

Victor Rotolo served as an officer on the Elizabeth, NJ police force for two years prior to becoming a trial attorney.
