How Criminal Charges Affect Child Custody Decisions in New Jersey

I was in danger because I was accused by a bad person of doing a crime I didn’t do. Mr. Zarych and his assistant worked very hard and got the case dismissed and the accusation expunged. I am very happy that I chose this excellent firm.

John and Brenden did an excellent job resolving my case. When I initially spoke with John he laid out everything that was going to happen before ultimately case being dismissed and that's exactly what happened. Both Brenden and John are extremely professional and really care about their clients. Couldn't have asked for better representation during this difficult time.

Words fall short in terms of my being able to properly convey how much today’s fabulous result means to my entire family."

"Absolutely an outstanding lawyer. I couldn’t have asked for any better representation. John J Zarych and associates were very reassuring and comforting from the beginning to the end. For a first time offense, I was scared out of my mind, I spoke to John J Zarych and from the initial meeting with him, he went more in depth than anyone I’d spoken to, he made sure I was in understanding of the entire process. He went above and beyond in court, and he managed to get my charge dismissed. Better than expected. John J Zarych and Associates will definitely be saved for future reference to anyone I come across needing his services. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

"John Zarych and Brenden Shur are two exceptionally skilled criminal defense attorneys in a class entirely of their own.

From the moment I met John and Brenden I knew they were it! They went above and beyond to ensure that every day I felt supported and not alone...If it was not for their dedication, knowledge and devotion to the application of law and presenting the truth, I would not be free today. They are fearless and exhibit an unwavering commitment to their clients...They are the GOLD STANDARD of criminal defense attorneys...I owe my life to these men (and their AMAZING office staff)...they will not stop fighting for you until they get you the best possible outcome.

“About four months ago my son found himself in a very dangerous situation. We called your firm because we honestly did not know what to do. We were confused and scared. Thanks to your expertise you were able to guide us through what could have been the end of my son’s life if he was prosecuted. You didn’t make us feel judged or deviant. You were also very mindful of the family who was charging my son with crime. I want to thank you so much for impacting my son’s life in such a positive, meaningful way.

"Brenden treats you with absolute respect and keeps you informed regarding your options on your case. They sent me audio and video of my confrontation with the State Police and they never left me worried or clueless. These are crucial after being charged, because you're under attack from the State. John Zarych and Brenden Shur have my trust and respect. Thank you for defending me."

"John and his team showed as much care and concern before I hired him as they did once we made it official. As a parent I wanted the best counsel for my daughter and this incident could have derailed her promising future. John and his team worked closely with us and discussed the best path to address her legal issue. They put in the extra effort and it paid off with the best possible outcome - charges dismissed! The initial stress felt by the whole family was off the charts but was immediately diffused when we knew that we had John and his team on our side. Thank you John and Staff!"

"My expectations were exceeded by the outstanding work and utmost professionalism of the attorneys and staff at the law offices of John J. Zarych."

"Good guy honest..."

"Mr. Zarych and his firm defended my wife in a case where she was involved in a traffic accident. The other person involved was cited by the police. In an attempt to have the charges against him dropped, he made threats to my wife and he filed false charges against her. This really upset my wife. When we met with Mr. Zarych after what was an ongoing traumatic experience, he assured us of an extremely aggressive and through defense. Throughout this experience we were provided with great support and kept informed of all developments regularly. We truly were provided with a very aggressive and through defense. The outcome was that all the false charges against my wife were dropped. The man who crashed into my wife was found guilty of all charges. Mr. Zarych did what he said he was going to do and we are very grateful for the efforts of Mr. Zarych and his firm who went above and beyond."

Dear John and Team, I am writing this letter to sincerely thank you for your help with the legal proceedings for our son, which favorably concluded today at the Cape May County Court House after nine (9) long months.

Because our son was a first-time offender, my wife and I went into this process totally naïve as to what to expect from the juvenile legal process. Although we agree that his crime certainly warranted some level of punishment, we are absolutely and totally dismayed at the intense fervor with which the District Attorney (DA) pursued the most severe penalties.

Without your keen legal guidance and ability to navigate the frightening waters of the judicial system, he would likely have ended up with the most severe consequences. Instead, with your help, he was given an opportunity to demonstrate that he is a young man worthy of a second chance.

Simply put, without you, the outcome for our son would have been much different and almost certainly caused irreparable damage to his future.You and your entire staff have our sincere gratitude and appreciation.

"Dear Mr. Zarych, about four months ago my son found himself in a very dangerous situation. We called your firm because we honestly did not know what to do. We were confused and scared. Thanks to your expertise you were able to guide us through what could have been the end of my son's life if he was prosecuted. You handled my son's case with such sensitivity and grace. You didn't make us feel judged or deviant. You were also very mindful of the family who was charging my son with crime. I want to thank you so much for impacting my son's life in such a positive, meaningful way. I know he felt very comfortable with you and will heed your advice.I would also like to thank Stephanie Zarych and Brenden Shur. Both attorneys helped tremendously with our questions and concerns. Also your staff behind the desk was wonderful. Their professionalism and kindness will never be forgotten. From the bottom of my heart I can't thank you enough for how you helped my son get through his worst nightmare. May God bless you and your staff for all you do!"

We were completely blindsided by an accusation against our son, who is a high school senior. Needless to say we were completely upset and confused as to what to do. Not handled correctly could have been detrimental to our son for the rest of his life. By the grace of God we came upon John Zarych's Law Office. John's instruction, advice, guidance, and support were invaluable to us, in addressing this most horrific and heartbreaking situation. His professionalism and attention, as well as , his overall handling of the matter resulted in a dismissal of the accusation. We are most appreciative of not only John's expertise as an attorney, but his devotion and concerned for his client's best interest. John is a person with high morals and values, and can be trusted explicitly. We would recommend The Law Offices of John Zarych to anyone looking for an outstanding criminal attorney.

"I was falsely accused on three counts of assault, which is a nightmare considering that I am a public school teacher. John Zarych came highly recommended from a family member and after meeting with him, I knew that he was the right person to help me. John did not waste any time before gathering evidence towards my case and did an excellent job discovering evidence which was in my favor. John is very well respected in the Atlantic County municipal courts, and after talking to the prosecutor all counts were dropped and my name was cleared.

The whole process took about a month and a half and I was a nervous wreck the entire time. John was very quick to answer any and all of my question, no matter how redundant they became. He was very honest and made the process as smooth and painless as it possibly could have been. The recommendation from my family member did not do John Zarych justice; his compassion and his ability to litigate are far beyond any lawyer or professional that I have met. I highly recommend John Zarych for any legal needs that you may need."

"I engaged them to assist a family member in some legal trouble and they came through for us. Also, I had a significant traffic matter that was a misunderstanding. Stefanie Zarych represented me and was able to get it everything dismissed. John and Stefanie Zarych made me feel comfortable, relaxed and confident. I know they had my best interests at heart. Therefore, I strongly recommend them to other people with serious criminal or traffic problems."
