Criminal Mischief Charge Morris County

Have you been arrested and charged with criminal mischief in Morris County? Do you need a lawyer to fight these charges in court? We can help. Here is a case we recently handled for a client with great success in Florham Park.

Our client was arrested and charged with criminal mischief in the 4th degree (for alleged damage to property over $500 but less than $2,000). He was also charged with disorderly persons offenses of simple assault and harassment. He has no prior criminal history and this was his first contact with the criminal justice system at 48 years old. He and his significant other had an argument where he allegedly damaged their television and threw the remote control at him. He also was charged with harassment for excessive phone calls after he left the house.

Because of the fourth degree felony charge, the case was scheduled for CJP court in Morristown. Any felony cases must be handled in the Superior Court as opposed to the Municipal Court. Luckily, our lawyers were able to convince the Morris County Prosecutor’s office to downgrade the felony criminal mischief offense to a disorderly persons (misdemeanor) charge and all the charges were then remanded back to the Florham Park Municipal Court for disposition.

The alleged victim in this matter did not want to proceed with the charges and wanted the case dismissed. Since he was the only witness to the alleged acts, the State could not prove the charges in court beyond a reasonable doubt without his testimony. As a result, the Judge and the prosecutor in Florham Park agreed to a carry order where the case is dismissed after 60 days as long as there are no other domestic violence calls to their residence. When we returned to court after to 60 days had passed, the charges were completely dismissed. Now, the client is filing an expedited expungement to have the arrest removed from his record as well.
