Malamut & Associates LLC stands up for accused individuals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

We’ll examine the circumstances that led to your charge to determine if the case against you was prejudiced by errors or improper police conduct.
When someone’s been accused of a white collar crime, special challenges exist.
