If you have been arrested for a serious crime, your freedom, your reputation - your life as you know it - could depend on the decisions you make in the first 24 hours. Do not talk to police, your employer, the newspapers or anyone else about your arrest. Any attempt you make to explain the situation could only make matters worse and may work against certain legal defenses.
Instead, contact Newark criminal lawyer Joseph D. Rotella. Any attorney can say he or she is skilled and experienced. However, when your freedom is at stake, you need more than just a lawyer's own statements. You would not want to have open-heart surgery from a doctor who was not certified by a medical board.

This guy is unprofessional as they come ! He gives his clients no comfort or support while fighting the system. He will leave you in the dark and pressure you into doing things you don’t want to do & make it seem like it’s best for you . He works off MONEY , so word of advice save your money.

Over the weekend I was in desperate need to find an attorney for my boyfriend because he’s facing charges for something that was not his fault. So I found Mr. Rotella and spoke with him and over the weekend I was an emotional wreck and I bugged him the entire weekend, even on Sunday😩🤦🏽♀️. I felt bad for bothering him on a Sunday and I kept apologizing for it. He never once got annoyed with me and said “Maam, it’s ok, I get it. Just be in my office first thing Monday morning so I can help you guys right away”. I went to his office and he waisted no time to get to it. We discussed

Mr. Rotella is a fantastic attorney who delivers favorable results. My son was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge and Mr. Rotella was able to downgrade it to the municipal level, and during the court case that followed, convincingly proved that there were no verifiable witnesses and got the charge thrown out. He and his office delivered an outcome that was life changing, I highly recommend this attorney.

Joseph Rotella did an excellent job representing me, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone. I got the best possible outcome for my case and whenever I had any questions or concerns he'd call me back within a day, very responsive, and he was with me every step of the way. I'm very happy I hired him. Thanks again, Mr. Rotella

I recommend hiring Mr.Rotella simply because he will work his hardest for you , and make you feel in safe while doing it. Dealing with a criminal case can be very stressful for one self and ones family ,but Mr.Rotella made me feel calm and confident that everything was going to be great. I got the best possible outcome for my case , and justice was certainly served. The cost for his work is very fair , he is very professional , and explains everything with detail so you don’t miss a beat. Mr. Rotella and his team are the best possible team you could find.

I am writing this review because I had hired Mr.Joseph D Rotella to represent me in a criminal case. Mr. Rotella had went above and beyond to get me a favorable outcome. He was 100% straight forward and honest with me from our very 1st conversation. I will definitely recommend his service to any and everyone in need of a great lawyer.

Hands down, Joseph D Rotella and his team are the very best. From the moment I stepped into Mr Rotella's office I felt like I made the right choice. Customer service is always doing their best to accommodate you. Mr Rotella and his team are super professional and determined to serve and make you feel comfortable. There is nothing worse than having baggage or weight on your shoulders but Mr Rotella and his team make it their priority to ease that pain. Thank you! I am very satisfied with the care and professionalism I received from Mr Rotella and his team. I will most definitely recommend him and
