Our Hudson county clients

As Hudson County criminal lawyers, our clients are people who have been arrested in any of the counties’ 12 municipalities.

For example, if you are charged with an indictable offense like aggravated sexual assault in or near Jersey City, your case will be prosecuted by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office. Or, if you got arrested for drug charges like marijuana possession on the Saint Peter’s University campus in Jersey City, your case will also be prosecuted at the county level. Our clients represent a cross-section of the county. They range from juveniles to college students getting arrested for lewdness &  to adults facing murder charges. Criminal charges carry serious consequences. For this reason, you need a team of dedicated & professional Hudson County criminal lawyers to represent you.

I was arrested for a 3rd-degree felony case. I spent 5 hours searching for a good NJ criminal defense lawyer online. Every lawyer I called was in a rush and demanded a lot of money. I didn't like how many of these lawyers talked to me either. When I discovered Peyrouton Law, I checked their reviews. Every review was perfect and I was skeptical. Nobody can be so perfect. I talked to Alan on the phone and made a free appointment to come in and see him. Alan and Kevin explained everything to me very clearly. They answered all of my questions patiently. I never felt rushed. Because of my special circumstances, they took my case for an extremely reasonable flat fee. Honestly, they treated me like a brother. Within a few weeks, they were able to get my felony case downgraded to a misdemeanor. Long story short, I ended up paying a small fine for a municipal ordinance. As a client, I only had to go to court only three times. Even though my case is over, I will continue to keep in contact with Alan and Kevin. I consider them excellent people and they've become trusted friends. If any of my friends or family members ever need a lawyer, I will just grab them by the hand and take them to see Alan and Kevin. You know, when I got arrested, I was humiliated, lost my vacation time, and lost a lot of sleep but the best part of this whole thing is that I made two great friends for life...

Types Of Cases Handled By Hudson County Criminal Lawyers

For our Hudson County criminal lawyers, your case is important to us. Whether you are facing a misdemeanor (Disorderly Persons), a felony (Indictable), or a DWI case, we bring the same determination & intensity in our representation to every case. Since the outcome of these cases can have long-lasting consequences, we do not take them lightly.

For example, felony charges carry mandatory minimum prison sentences. This means that if you plead guilty or go to trial and are found guilty, the judge must sentence you to prison. The judge does not have a choice. So our job as Hudson County criminal lawyers is to negotiate a plea bargain for you to avoid going to jail.

Recently, we represented a client from Jersey City charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Terroristic Threats, and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon. He faced felony charges that carried serious prison time. We successfully negotiated a plea deal with the Hudson County prosecutor’s office to reduce his prison sentence to months in jail.

In another case, our Hudson County criminal lawyers represented a North Bergen resident charged with two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault. He faced 60 years in prison & the stakes were high. We’re happy to share that we got him an awesome result. He was not sentenced to prison and was able to return to his prior employment.

I met Alan and right off the bat I knew he was a straight shooter........I was facing alot of time and he didn't sugar coat my worst outcome and best outcome for hiring him to defend me.He was very reasonable priced and answered all my questions even if I repeated myself.All the way upto my court date he was responsive to all my calls and concerns. Other lawyers wanted outrageous fees and would tell me what i wanted to hear. Alan isn't like that at all. Not only was my case dismissed but he gave me great life advice. He is a true definition of a scholar and a gentleman!!!!!
