Stephen Jones, Esq 554 Lighthouse Ln Bldg 103, Perth Amboy, NJ 08861

Attorney Stephen Jones has launched a redesigned <a href="https://stephenjonesesq.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">website</a> for his New Jersey criminal defense law firm that provides a straightforward path to finding legal guidance when you need it. Whether needing a <a href="https://stephenjonesesq.com/dui-lawyer.shtml" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DUI Lawyer,</a> DWI Lawyer, <a href="https://stephenjonesesq.com/traffic-ticket-lawyer.shtml" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">traffic ticket lawyer,</a>&nbsp; or <a href="https://stephenjonesesq.com/criminal-defense-lawyer-nj.shtml" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">criminal defense lawyer</a>, site visitors can quickly reach a compassionate, experienced criminal defense lawyer without being routed to an assistant or a call center. Legal emergencies never happen at a convenient time. A traffic stop or arrest can occur late at night, on a weekend, or during a holiday. The new website connects people in need of honest legal advice directly to a lawyer who answers calls and texts 24/7 so they can reach an attorney immediately. Two Decades of New Jersey Courtroom Experience With more than 20 years of experience across New Jersey’s municipal and Superior Courts, Stephen Jones has a lengthy track record of successful case resolutions. His expertise recently earned recognition; in 2026, he was named one of the Top 10 Lawyers Shaping the Legal Industry, a distinction that reflects both his case results and his reputation among peers. Stephen’s professional relationships with local judges and prosecutors, his familiarity with courtroom procedures, and his respectful, empathetic approach have contributed to his results. What Sets Criminal Defense Attorney Stephen Jones Apart The website highlights several characteristics that distinguish Stephen Jones from larger firms where clients have limited or no contact with the attorney handling their case:

<ul><li>Around-the-clock-access: Stephen Jones personally takes calls and texts at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays. You’ll never reach an assistant or answering service. </li><li>Personal Approach: Stephen treats every client as he would a family member, providing candid advice without a sales pitch. </li><li>Bilingual support: Services are available in both English and Spanish, making legal assistance accessible to more New Jersey families. </li><li>Free Consultations: An initial case review from Stephen Jones is free, so prospective clients can understand their options before committing. </li><li>Flexible payment options: Payment plans are designed to ease the financial pressure that often accompanies legal trouble.&nbsp;</li></ul>

Three Core Practice Areas The Law Office of Stephen Jones, Esq. website organizes the firm’s work into three main categories and explains each clearly.

DUI and DWI Defense As a dedicated DUI lawyer and DWI lawyer, Jones challenges breath test results, field sobriety evidence, and refusal to provide a breath sample charges. Whether you need a DUI defense attorney to protect your license or a DWI attorney to safeguard your record, this driving while intoxicated lawyer will work to keep you out of jail. His experience as a DUI criminal defense lawyer means you can rest assured that no detail gets overlooked.

Traffic Violations Drivers across the state turn to Traffic Violation Lawyer Stephen Jones for defense against serious charges like reckless driving, driving while suspended, and excessive speeding. As a speeding ticket lawyer and traffic citation attorney, he fights to limit points, fines, and long-term consequences. As a skilled traffic law attorney, he does everything in his power to protect your ability to keep your driver’s license. Criminal Defense As a criminal law attorney, Stephen Jones represents people accused of shoplifting, drug possession, disorderly persons offenses, and other charges heard in municipal and Superior Courts. He treats each case with the seriousness it deserves.

Across all three areas, Stephen’s mission is the same: to protect your freedom, driving privileges, and permanent record whenever possible.

Serving Clients Statewide While his law firm centers its practice in Middlesex County, Jones represents clients throughout New Jersey, including Monmouth, Union, Somerset, Mercer, and Essex Counties. He travels wherever a client’s case is heard. His statewide flexibility means that regardless of where you live in New Jersey, you can access an experienced defense attorney.

Take the First Step Today A single charge can threaten your driver’s license, your job, and your freedom, but one mistake doesn’t have to define your future. Attorney Stephen Jones’ new website makes it easier than ever to contact a criminal defense lawyer who will stand beside you.

It’s easy to find a compassionate, knowledgeable attorney using these <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/5BAzubsELHjU7fRn6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">directions to The Law Firm of Stephen Jones.</a> If you’re facing a DUI, DWI, serious traffic citation, or criminal charge, visit his new website at <a href="https://stephenjonesesq.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://stephenjonesesq.com/</a> for more information, get a free consultation, and take the first step toward protecting your future.

Monthly Sports and Pokémon Trading Card Show at Hazlet’s Raritan High School

On Sunday, September 13th, the “Exit 117 Sports Cards and Pokémon Buy, Sell &amp; Trade Expo” will make its return to Raritan High School in Hazlet.&nbsp; The show will include vendors of sports cards, memorabilia and supplies, as well vendors focusing on non-sports collectibles, such as Pokémon, One Piece and Yu-Gi-Oh cards.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a special feature, NFL games will be streamed live during the show; a first for New Jersey card shows!
The show is the result of a collaboration between Hot Corner Promotions and Our Cards &amp; Collectibles, two of central New Jersey’s top show promoters.&nbsp; Both organizations are family-run businesses based in Monmouth County, and both have been operating card shows for decades.
“When we started this journey with our first show in April, our goal was to establish a larger monthly card expo in Monmouth County, which was sorely missing. We also wanted to create a fun family experience for all ages, and to support the local community.”, said Alex Escalante of Hot Corner Promotions. “I feel we have accomplished this, with a wide range of patrons and vendors attending our previous shows. We saw families and friends running into each other and reconnecting while walking the aisles and looking for that special item at the vendor tables.&nbsp; We saw visitors and vendors alike, with smiles on their faces as they discussed the products for sale.&nbsp; You could see that everyone was genuinely having a good time interacting with each other.”
“We couldn’t be happier or more thankful for the outpouring of support from the vendors and patrons. The response has been overwhelming, and the positive comments are greatly appreciated”, Escalante continued.&nbsp; “We are also thankful for the support from the Hazlet Board of Education and the Raritan High School staff.&nbsp; The RHS staff has been amazing, and has allowed us to build a strong working relationship. We are currently working with them to book monthly dates for all of 2027.”
The Expo is a monthly recurring show, featuring the best card vendors in the tri-state area. The vendors feature top-line inventory, and will have cash in hand for the purchase of cards and collections from attendees.&nbsp; There will be a food truck on site, ample parking in the high school lot, and the facility is handicap accessible.&nbsp; NFL games will stream live at all shows during football season.
Raritan High School is located at 419 Middle Road in Hazlet, NJ.&nbsp; It is easily accessible from Parkway exit 117 from the north, and Parkway exit 114 from the south, as well as from Routes 35 and 36.The show will run from 9 am through 4 pm on Sunday, September 13th.
