Criminal Defense Attorney
An Accomplished Former Prosecutor Fighting for Your Rights
The police and the prosecution in a criminal case want you to feel scared. They want you to believe their case is airtight. They will pressure you into providing statements, pleading guilty, or taking a deal set on their terms. We understand how they think, because our attorney spent many years as an Essex County prosecutor.
If you’ve been charged with a crime, the law firm of RC Charles Esquire will not let you be railroaded by the prosecution. We will strongly assert your rights and exhaust every defense to defeat the allegations or obtain the most favorable result based on the facts of your case.
We represent clients in federal, state, and municipal courts of Essex, Bergen, Hudson, Union, and Morris counties. Contact us immediately at our Newark law firm if you or a family member has been arrested, indicted, or investigated.

Before entering private practice, trial attorney Rosalyn Charles spent ten years in the Office of the Essex County Prosecutor.
