Carilli Esq., LLC sits at the center of Bergen County’s legal landscape, giving the firm immediate proximity to the county courthouse and the communities spread across the surrounding area. The practice covers both civil and criminal legal matters, making it a resource for individuals dealing with injury claims, traffic charges, workplace injuries, or serious criminal allegations.
Hackensack functions as Bergen County’s seat, which means that a significant volume of civil and criminal litigation for the region flows through courts located very close to the firm’s office.

Practice Areas
Albert F. A. Carilli Esq., LLC handles matters across several interconnected areas of law, with meaningful coverage of both civil injury claims and criminal defense.
Auto Accident Law: Motor vehicle collisions are among the most common sources of serious injury in New Jersey. The firm represents individuals injured in auto accidents, addressing liability, insurance negotiations, and litigation as circumstances require.
Personal Injury Law: Beyond auto accidents, the firm handles the broader category of personal injury claims. New Jersey’s personal injury framework includes specific no-fault insurance provisions that affect how claims are structured and pursued, and the firm’s practice in this jurisdiction reflects that specialized context.
Workers Compensation Law: Employees injured on the job are entitled to benefits under New Jersey’s workers compensation system. Those benefits can include medical treatment coverage, temporary disability payments, and permanent disability awards. The firm represents injured workers pursuing these claims.
Traffic Law: Traffic violations in New Jersey carry points, fines, and potential license consequences. For commercial drivers or individuals with prior violations, a single ticket can have substantial impact. The firm handles traffic matters with an understanding of how those consequences accumulate.
Criminal Law: The firm’s criminal defense practice spans misdemeanor to felony-level charges. New Jersey’s criminal code distinguishes between disorderly persons offenses, which are heard in municipal court, and indictable offenses, which proceed in Superior Court. The firm handles cases across both tiers.
DUI Law: Driving under the influence charges in New Jersey carry mandatory penalties that increase with each subsequent offense. The firm handles DUI defense, including challenges to the stop, the testing procedure, and the admissibility of evidence.
Domestic Violence Law: New Jersey’s Prevention of Domestic Violence Act creates a distinct legal framework for cases involving alleged domestic violence, including both criminal charges and civil restraining orders. The firm handles matters arising under this framework.
Drug Crime Law: Drug charges in New Jersey range from simple possession to distribution and possession with intent to distribute. The nature of the charge, the substance involved, and the quantity all affect the applicable penalties. The firm defends clients across this range.
Violent Crime Law: Serious criminal charges require experienced defense representation. The firm handles violent crime matters, including charges that carry substantial prison exposure.
Attorney Profile
Albert F. A. Carilli is the attorney of record for the firm. His practice covers both the civil side, where he works on behalf of injury victims, and the criminal defense side, where he represents individuals facing charges. That dual focus means he has active familiarity with both the civil and criminal courtrooms in the Hackensack courthouse and the surrounding Bergen County courts.
The combination is not coincidental. Many legal situations that begin as one type of case have implications for the other. A client who is both injured in an accident and facing a related traffic charge, for example, benefits from an attorney who can advise on both dimensions of the situation.

Client Focus
The structure of this practice reflects the reality of how legal problems arrive in people’s lives. An auto accident does not produce a single, cleanly defined legal issue; it produces an injury claim, potential traffic charges, insurance disputes, and possibly a workers compensation matter if the accident happened during work. A client dealing with drug charges may also face employment consequences or civil forfeiture proceedings.
Albert F. A. Carilli Esq., LLC is positioned to address these overlapping concerns within a single attorney relationship. For individuals and families in Hackensack and the surrounding Bergen County area, that integration of civil and criminal practice reduces the complexity of managing multiple attorneys across multiple legal fronts.
FAQ
What is the difference between a disorderly persons offense and an indictable offense in New Jersey?
Disorderly persons offenses are the equivalent of misdemeanors and are handled in municipal court. They can result in up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Indictable offenses are the equivalent of felonies and are handled in Superior Court. They carry significantly higher penalties and require a grand jury indictment. The firm handles both categories.
Can a traffic violation affect my insurance rates even if I pay the fine?
Yes. In New Jersey, many traffic violations carry points that are reported to the Motor Vehicle Commission and to insurance carriers. Accumulating points can trigger surcharges and rate increases. Contesting a ticket or negotiating a reduced charge can sometimes avoid points entirely.
If I was injured in an auto accident, does New Jersey’s no-fault system prevent me from suing?
Not necessarily. New Jersey’s no-fault system covers basic medical expenses regardless of fault, but it does not eliminate the right to sue in all situations. The policy you purchased (either a limited right to sue or an unlimited right to sue) affects your options. An attorney can evaluate your specific policy and the facts of your accident.
What happens at a domestic violence restraining order hearing?
In New Jersey, a temporary restraining order can be issued on an emergency basis. A final restraining order hearing is typically scheduled within ten days, at which both parties present evidence. The consequences of a final restraining order include permanent prohibition from contacting the plaintiff and potential criminal record implications.
Does the firm handle cases outside of Hackensack?
