Understanding Harassment in New Jersey

In New Jersey, harassment is considered a serious offense that can lead to criminal charges. Harassment is defined by The New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice 2C:33-4, covering many situations. It can involve engaging in conduct designed to seriously annoy or alarm another person. Conduct considered harassment can range from verbal abuse to physical threats. 

The following are common examples that could be deemed as harassment:

  • Unwanted, intimidating, or threatening communication
  • Stalking
  • Offensive language or gestures
  • Invasion of privacy
  • Physical threats or attacks

In New Jersey, the penalties for a harassment conviction can be severe and life-altering. A conviction can result in thousands of dollars in fines and over a year in jail, depending on your specific charges. It's important to note that a conviction can also lead to a permanent criminal record, impacting future employment opportunities, housing applications, and more.

Importance of Legal Representation in Harassment Cases

When facing harassment charges, it is crucial to consult with legal representation as early as possible. As previously mentioned, the consequences of a harassment conviction can have lasting and damaging repercussions, affecting your personal life, career, and overall future. Our skilled Morristown harassment defense lawyer can guide you through this complex legal process.

    "I recommend him and would use him again"
    I was in a super stressful situation in which a driver was claiming I caused damaged to their vehicle while driving amongst other things..Mr Scura answered my initial phone call at 7pm at night, and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He handled everything professionally, and in a timely manner always responding to all of my questions and obtained a very fair and optimal outcome in my case. I’d like to also mention he took all of the stress out of the situation for me at a time in my life that was immensely stressful! I recommend him and would use him again ( but hopefully don’t have to)

    "I highly recommended Attorney Joseph S. Scura"
    I hired Joseph S. Scura for my criminal case in Superior Court. Joseph was able to downgrade this case to municipal court and at the end have the matter dismissed. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Joseph was very supportive and never disappointing from the very start. I was able to reach out to him any time by text message or phone call with timely responses. His suggestions were very positive and genuine. I highly recommended Attorney Joseph S. Scura and his team for any criminal case.

    My dog and I were in serious trouble, and Joe Scura negotiated the best possible solution for both of us. He remained patient and respectful with me during what turned out to be a lengthy ordeal, but it ended well.
    Katherine
    "Extremely knowledgeable Professional"
    I couldn't recommend Joe Scura and his team more highly. Five stars is not enough. An extremely knowledgeable professional who follows up promptly and maintains contact. He patiently guided me through the legal system and worked tirelessly to turn a potentially serious situation into a dismissal without trial. I hope that there will never be another situation where I would need an attorney, but if so, I would call upon Joe's services without hesitation.
    William
    "Total Professionalism"
    Mr. Scura handled my court case in Hunterdon County recently with total professionalism. He made a very difficult situation for me less emotional and was able to help me reduce the charges and reach a settlement without further court appearances.
    Syndi
    "Highly Intelligent and Quick Witted"
    Joe Scura is an outstanding lawyer. He's highly intelligent and quick witted. We won our case by Joe getting it dismissed. I'd hire him again in a second. I'd highly recommend his services to anyone in need.
