Federal Court in New Jersey
Federal criminal cases in New Jersey are prosecuted in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, with locations in Newark, Trenton, and Camden. This federal court handles a wide range of criminal cases, from white-collar crimes to drug offenses and beyond. The federal court system operates under its own set of rules and procedures, which are significantly different from those used in New Jersey state courts.
Mr. Spencer has extensive experience defending clients in federal courts, including the U.S. District Court for New Jersey. He understands the intricacies of federal litigation, from pre-trial motions to trial procedures, and has built a strong reputation for his ability to craft effective defense strategies.

Defending Against Federal Charges in New Jersey
Federal criminal charges carry serious consequences, and the defense of these cases requires a meticulous and strategic approach. At Norman Spencer Law Group, we take a proactive approach to every case, working to protect our clients from the outset. Our firm provides comprehensive defense services, including:
- Early intervention: If you are under investigation, but no formal charges have been filed, it is crucial to engage legal representation as soon as possible. Early intervention can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Spencer works to prevent charges from being filed by engaging in negotiations with federal prosecutors and providing evidence that supports your innocence.
- Pre-trial defense: Once charges are filed, the pre-trial phase is critical for building your defense. Spencer will file motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or limit the scope of the prosecution’s case. His goal is to weaken the government’s case before it goes to trial.
- Trial defense: If your case goes to trial, Spencer will provide an aggressive defense, challenging the prosecution’s evidence and presenting a strong case on your behalf. With his extensive trial experience, Mr. Spencer is skilled at cross-examining witnesses, presenting expert testimony, and making compelling arguments in court.
- Sentencing and appeals: If convicted, Spencer will work to mitigate the penalties during sentencing by presenting evidence in your favor and arguing for leniency. If necessary, our firm will also handle appeals, fighting to overturn unjust convictions or sentences.
Common Federal Crimes We Defend
At Norman Spencer Law Group, we provide defense for a wide range of federal criminal charges in New Jersey, including:
- White-Collar Crimes: Federal white-collar crimes involve fraudulent activities typically committed in business or financial contexts. Mr. Spencer defends individuals and corporations against charges of wire fraud, mail fraud, securities fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and government contractor fraud. Our team includes certified fraud examiners and former federal agents, who help analyze complex financial records and identify weaknesses in the government’s case.
- Healthcare Fraud: Healthcare providers in New Jersey are often the target of federal healthcare fraud investigations. These cases typically involve allegations of Medicare or Medicaid fraud, such as submitting false claims, billing for services not provided, or accepting illegal kickbacks. Spencer has extensive experience defending healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists, and healthcare organizations, against these charges.
- Tax Crimes: The IRS aggressively pursues individuals and businesses accused of tax evasion, filing false tax returns, or committing fraud against the federal tax system. With the assistance of former IRS agents and forensic accountants, Spencer is prepared to defend against tax fraud allegations and protect your financial interests.
- Conspiracy: Federal conspiracy charges often arise in cases involving white-collar crimes, healthcare fraud, and tax crimes. These charges can be just as serious as the underlying offenses, with severe penalties for conviction. Spencer works to dismantle the prosecution’s case by challenging the existence of a criminal agreement and demonstrating that his clients did not knowingly participate in any illegal conspiracy.
- Public Corruption: Public officials and individuals involved in government contracts or programs may face allegations of bribery, kickbacks, or other forms of public corruption. Federal prosecutors aggressively pursue these cases, and the penalties for conviction can include prison time, heavy fines, and disqualification from holding public office. Spencer defends clients against these charges by challenging the government’s evidence and demonstrating that no illegal conduct occurred.
