False Imprisonment

Penalties For False Imprisonment (N.J.S.A. 2C:13-3) In New Jersey

January 7, 2016 by Matthew Reisig

New Jersey Penalties For False Imprisonment (N.J.S.A. 2C:13-3) Charges

False Imprisonment (N.J.S.A. 2C:13-3) in New Jersey is graded as a disorderly persons offense, or the equivalent of a misdemeanor in other states.

If convicted, you’ll face up to six months in jail and a fine of $1,000.

However, it’s fair to say that most False Imprisonment cases use the charge as a lesser included offense in a larger prosecution of a more serious nature, such as in a kidnapping case.

How you proceed with your defense can determine how the rest of your life goes.

Matthew Reisig has been practicing as a criminal defense attorney in New Jersey for more than 17 years, and in that time he has helped thousands of clients avoid convictions, minimize their exposure to jail time, and receive the best outcome possible in their cases.

When you’ve been charged with False Imprisonment in New Jersey, call 732-625-9661 today for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey criminal defense attorney.

Will I Go To Jail For False Imprisonment (N.J.S.A. 2C:13-3) In New Jersey?

April 9, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

Criminal Defense Attorney In New Jersey For Those Facing False Imprisonment Charges

False Imprisonment (N.J.S.A. 2C:13-3) in New Jersey is a disorderly persons offense, so whether or not you’ll face jail time is largely determined by two things: your past criminal history, if any, and your choice to face the charges on your own or with an attorney.

If you’re a first offender charged with False Imprisonment, conviction carries a presumption of non-incarceration, though you’ll likely be facing significant fines and fees as a result.

You’ll also have to deal with a criminal record that can’t be expunged for five years, and can narrow your job searches and limit other opportunities.

If you have a criminal history already on the books, you’re facing the risk of six months of jail time, plus fines and fees.

When you work with an experienced New Jersey criminal defense attorney, you stand the best chance of beating the charges, or even ending the case before it goes to trial.

Whether this is through a deal or simply by making the prosecution believe your case isn’t worth prosecuting.

Call Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9661 for a free consultation regarding false imprisonment charges and their penalties.

In New Jersey, a variety of criminal charges can be levied when a person unlawfully restrains another’s actions.
