Eluding is a very serious charge in New Jersey and if convicted an individual may face up to ten (10) years in a state prison. The governing statute in New Jersey for eluding is N.J.S.A. 2C:29-2b. As you will see below the degree of the offense in which you are charged with will depend mainly on the risk of danger that you put the public in. This is just one of the few areas where an experienced criminal defense attorney can make persuasive arguments on your behalf to help minimize your exposure. The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshallhas been defending individuals charged with eluding, assault by auto, aggravated assault and driving while intoxicated throughout Bergen County including in towns like Fort Lee, Fair Lawn, Englewood, Lodi, Teaneck and Paramus for over fifteen years. Our team of criminal trial attorneys are prepared to handle these serious types of matters. Here is some important information with regards to offense of eluding, including the key elements to the offense.
As stated above, the governing statute for the offense of eluding in New Jersey is N.J.S.A. 2C:29, which in pertinent part states that:
A second degree crime in New Jersey carries with it a presumption of incarceration and that period can range from anywhere between five – ten years in a New Jersey State Prison. Conversely, a third degree crime in New Jersey carries with it a non-presumption of incarceration. However, if that presumption is overcome, a defendant may face up to five years in a New Jersey State Prison. In addition, depending on the underline facts, the defendant may be eligible for a diversionary program known as Pre-Trial Intervention. If the defendant is able to enter the pre-trial intervention program they will be afforded the opportunity to walk away from their current eluding charges without a conviction (no criminal record).
The applicable penalties for an individual convicted of either a second or third degree felony eluding can be devastating on not only your life but on your loved ones as well. The staff at The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall is comprised of seven criminal defense trial attorneys, making us one of the biggest criminal defense firms in the state.
