Protecting Criminal Defendants' Due Process Rights and Advocating Immigrant Relief From Deportation
Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart asserted, "Fairness is what justice really is." At the Law Office of Charles Dawkins Jr., we zealously advocate on behalf of criminal defendants who seek trials so that they obtain a fair trial; or in the alternative we explain the criminal case scenario for criminal defendants who seek to knowingly, voluntarily, and with full understanding of the consequences accept a plea deal.
Located in New Jersey, we represent clients facing the uncertainties of the U.S. criminal justice system in both the state and federal district courts of New Jersey, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.
We also advocate in all states on behalf of immigrants or illegal aliens who seek relief from deportation, post-conviction relief for convictions of aggravated felonies, adjustment of status, Asylum, Convention Against Torture (CAT), Withholding of Removal, Cancellation of Removal, waivers, and various nonimmigrant and immigrant visas.
Honest Legal Representation With a Direct Approach
Clients receive forthright and direct answers to questions regarding their respective cases. We always inform clients about their options and possible consequences of guilty pleas or verdicts. We listen patiently to understand our clients' unique situations in cases involving:
- Criminal law, including drug crimes, violent crimes such as homicide or assault and battery, white collar crimes, telephone wire-tap cases, and drunk driving charges
- Immigration law, including deportation defense, cancellation of removal, asylum, convention against torture (CAT), withholding of removal, temporary protective status and visas
- Criminal appeals, before the New Jersey Court of Appeals, the New Jersey Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court
We never quit on appeal when clients have arguable issues. We will fight your case to the highest state or federal court to obtain the due process you expect under the Constitution.
You Have a Right to Legal Counsel
We understand that clients have a due process right to to remain silent during custodial interrogation and a due process right to counsel in cases involving felonies. In some cases, the client does not seek or qualify for public counsel. If you seek private counsel, contact the Law Office of Charles Dawkins Jr.---We do not judge and we do not accuse. Instead, we advocate notions of fair play and justice as articulated by the U.S. Constitution.
