Paul Brickfield is the best criminal defense attorney in New Jersey

Paul Brickfield is the best criminal defense attorney in New Jersey. Unfortunately, I’ve had enough experience with the criminal justice system to be able to say that with authority. Mr. Brickfield has handled three matters for me, and one is still pending. He never stops working, and the outcomes have always been favorable. He explains everything clearly and consistently makes sure I’m able to make informed decisions.

If you look at his résumé, you’ll see he previously supervised prosecutors, but seeing that on paper isn’t the same as watching him operate in a courthouse. Everywhere we go, people know him, and the respect he gets is obvious. Unlike some defense attorneys who play nice because they have friends on the other side, Mr. Brickfield is not afraid to fight hard and pursue every angle. Trust me, that’s rare.

He’s also a good man who genuinely cares about his clients. He doesn’t judge. He never tried to pressure me into fixing my life, but he did offer steady, respectful encouragement when I chose to work on myself.

At one point, I had to self-surrender in Passaic County and was dreading spending time in lock-up. He arranged what I can only describe as a “VIP booking.” I still spent a few hours in cuffs, but he stayed at the courthouse all morning and into the afternoon to make sure I got out as quickly as possible.

I highly recommend Paul Brickfield to anyone who needs criminal defense representation in New Jersey.

Paul is an outstanding lawyer who is very professional and thorough.

Paul is an outstanding lawyer who is very professional and thorough. I am very pleased with him and his staff the way they handle my case. I was in the worst possible situation in my life and was facing the worst possible outcome and thankfully Paul was able to help handle my case diligently. He was honest and straight to the point with me about my case and what I was facing and he manage to beat my case and I didn’t have to do any time. That was about 10 years ago and to this day if I needed anything he will be there to help me. I am so grateful for all his help and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a criminal defense attorney.

The Best

Mr. Brickfield has been my family attorney for the past four years. I have never been more than satisfied with an attorney. Realizing how nervous a client I am, he gave me his cell phone number so I could call him whenever I felt I had the need. I never had an attorney return my phone calls as promptly as Mr. Brickfield. Mr. Brickfield has a great deal of heart and always speaks at a level I could understand. Mr. Brickfield even returns phone messages when he is on vacation. I will always be grateful to Mr. Brickfield.

Philosophy

We always strive to put our clients in the best position possible, so our immediate goal is to obtain a case dismissal or acquittal. If this cannot be done, we seek to minimize the consequences, perhaps by pursuing a plea agreement, which could include alternate sentencing that can minimize the impact on our client’s freedom and liberty.
