William A. Proetta, Esq.

With more than a decade of experience defending clients against criminal charges, founding partner William A. Proetta has successfully handled and tried thousands of cases, from DWI to murder. As a New Jersey native, he has focused his career on helping people in the area where he grew up, serving Middlesex, Ocean, Hudson, and Union counties. As a hometown criminal defense lawyer, Mr. Proetta has developed a depth of knowledge about local law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges. He understands the intricacies of the jurisdictions he serves in, and those insights can make a huge difference for his clients. “Because I’ve spent so many years defending cases in New Jersey courts, I can help clients get a realistic idea of how a case will probably play out in court,” he says. “I am a straight shooter when it comes to explaining what I can do for my clients and how I can help.” Mr. Proetta starts each case by meeting with clients for a free consultation to go over what happened, potential strengths and weaknesses for the case, defense strategies, and what he can do to help. “My main priority is to make my clients feel comfortable and make connections with them,” he says. He also makes sure his clients aren’t bounced around from attorney to attorney. “When you hire me, you get me,” he says. “Although you get the power of a strong team at William Proetta Criminal Law, I pride myself on having a one-on-one relationship with my clients. That is a huge factor in getting results.”
