Answer

You should certainly hire a criminal defense attorney. Unless you have legal training and know the NJ rules of evidence and criminal procedure, this is something if you intend to fight, you should hire an attorney. You can apply for the services of the public defender if you financially qualify, if not, then you will need to retain private counsel.
