Practice Areas
Criminal Litigation
This firm counsels and represents clients who have been accused of a crime from the investigation stage through all criminal proceedings at the trial level. The guilt of an accused person cannot be presumed. As such, this firm embraces one of the most sacred principles in the American criminal justice system, holding that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. With this principle serving as the foundation of our work, this firm works tirelessly to defend clients charged with all criminal matters ranging from minor misdemeanors to the most serious felony charges. Recognizing the value of providing full-service advice to clients from day one, we sought to develop a range of complementary practices, including resolving traffic-related offenses and expungements.
Municipal Court / DUI
Equipped to handle any offense filed in municipal court, this firm has successfully and aggressively defended clients against criminal, quasi-criminal, and traffic offenses in municipal courts throughout New Jersey. We provided a skilled defense against DWI charges by challenging the evidence through fearless representation.
Expungements
A reasonable, fixed fee for the expungement of your criminal record. This fee shall include all application and related mailing expenses.
An expungement is the removal and isolation of all records on file within any court, detention or correctional facility, law enforcement, criminal justice agency or juvenile justice agency concerning a person’s apprehension, arrest, detention, trial or disposition of an offense within the criminal or juvenile justice system. Attorney Gatlin is skilled in dealing with the expungement process, having evaluated and processed applications previously as a judicial law clerk in the largest and busiest county in the State of New Jersey.
