Qualified and Proven Representation

Criminal defense lawyer Michael V. Calabro has served on both sides of the law. As a former Essex County prosecutor for 10 years, he is able to gauge the strength of the evidence against his client to decide whether to fight the charges in trial or work out a plea agreement. As a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney designated by the New Jersey Supreme Court, he understands the law and viable defenses if your case goes before a jury. When a conviction is likely, and would spell years in prison, Mr. Calabro will try to negotiate pleas to lesser charges with lower sentences.

Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

Allegations of domestic violence against a spouse, ex-spouse, live-in partner, or former dating partner can range from simple assault (threatening gestures or shoving) to aggravated assault and battery (serious bodily harm). Mr. Calabro represents clients in court on both the criminal offense and in restraining order hearings. He also handles the serious offense of violating a temporary or permanent restraining order (harassment, stalking, threats, or assault). These proceedings carry not only criminal penalties, but also implications for child custody, employment, and future job prospects.
