How Mr. Goldblatt Fights For You
Mr. Goldblatt's past roles as a criminal defense lawyer and prosecutor allow him to effectively represent those accused of domestic violence and victims of the crime. New Jersey comes to his East Brunswick, Freehold, and Wall offices for his powerful representation.
Plaintiff
If you are a victim of domestic violence, Mr. Goldblatt can record your injuries and persuasively present them to the judge and jury. He can also review the history of the defendant and see if they have a history of violence or patterns of breaking laws.
The Goldblatt team can also review the relationship between you and the accused, making sure the allegations fall in line with New Jersey laws on what is considered domestic violence. This way, the defense will be less successful at accusing you of misinterpreting the defendant's actions.
Defendant
If you are accused of domestic violence, Mr. Goldblatt can scrutinize the evidence, search for a lack of injury, and investigate potentially ill intent by the accuser.
Sometimes, an accuser may file domestic violence charges as an act of revenge or to gain leverage in other family law proceedings, even if you were not abusive. Attorney Goldblatt and his team can review the history and facts of your case to probe this possibility.
He can also review if you unintentionally or mistakenly acted in a way that the accuser misinterpreted as domestic violence.

Consequences of Domestic Violence Charges
Without a domestic violence attorney, criminal charges can have a lasting impact on your freedom and future. Our East Brunswick attorney can fight to help you avoid the potential punishments a domestic violence conviction can bring, including:
Imprisonment
The severity of your criminal charges will determine the amount of jail time and fines you are facing. If convicted of felony domestic violence charges, your potential prison time and fines will dramatically increase. Mr. Goldblatt may be able to get felony domestic violence charges reduced to misdemeanors, if not dismissed altogether.
Firearm Restrictions
Federal law restricts anyone convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence from owning firearms. You will have to give up your firearms if you are arrested for domestic violence in New Jersey. Even prosecutions that are deemed unwarranted will result in a temporary loss of firearm rights.
Parenting Rights
If you are convicted in your domestic violence case, a judge can restrict your time or even completely prohibit you from seeing your children. For victims, having restrictions against the accused can give you peace that your children won't be alone with a potential abuser.
Protection Orders
A protection order can greatly restrict your freedoms, preventing you from entering your own home or contacting your children. Violating a protection order will result in more consequences. A protection order can also keep you safe from a spouse or partner who is physically threatening.
Other Freedoms
If you're convicted of felony charges, you will lose your right to vote. A domestic violence conviction on your criminal record can make future employment opportunities difficult to secure. Your reputation after being convicted of abuse will also be significantly damaged.
Why Victims Need an Attorney
Victims of domestic violence deserve justice for the physical and mental trauma they have experienced. Our attorneys will work with victims to help them achieve a feeling of safety.
Our New Jersey attorney can help you:
File a Restraining Order
A restraining order can sometimes be the only thing that stands between you and your abuser. It can be necessary to keep you and your family safe. Your restraining order may not be as rigid without an attorney. Our domestic violence lawyer knows how to fight for a strong restraining order to keep you and your family safe.
Prosecute the Abuser
Sometimes the only way to stay protected is to seek jail time for the abuser. Our attorney can help build a strong case against the defendant to convince the jury they need to serve jail time to keep you and your family safe. Don't let your abuser walk free. Enlist an attorney to help you become protected.
