The following are the most common indictable charges in New Jersey.
A conviction for any indictable crime in New Jersey will become a part of your permanent record. If you are later convicted of another indictable crime (felony), your prior conviction can be considered for even higher penalties. This record can have long-lasting consequences and impact you when you are trying to rent a home or find a job. As a convicted felon, you will also lose your right to carry a firearm, vote, and obtain some professional licenses.
