A: You may be facing "obstruction of justice" charges, however, we will need more information to further assist you. You can reach us at 201-766-4800 for a free consultation.
A: Unfortunately if you were covering for him that would be an obstruction charge and even possibly more. I would suggest that you setup one of the free in office consultations that most of us criminal lawyers offer. You can contact my office to setup one of these consultations at 1-800-9-RIGHTS or visit our website at www.getnotguilty.com. Many defenses exist to these charges which could keep you out of jail, but you need to take the first step and setup the free in office consultation.
