Anthony P. Kearns is a former two-term Hunterdon County Prosecutor; Victor A. Rotolo is a trial attorney with more than 40 years of experience and a former police officer. Together, their experiences provide unique insights into the criminal justice system that allow them to offer clients the legal representation needed to protect their rights as they face serious accusations.

Our Somerset criminal defense attorneys understand that being charged with a crime is a serious matter and one that shouldn’t be faced alone. The mere fact of being charged with a crime can have a negative impact on your reputation and well-being, and the consequences of being found guilty are life-altering. If you are charged with a crime in Somerset, NJ, or the immediate area, an experienced criminal defense attorney familiar with the local court systems can offer you the best defense.

Although our justice system is based on the principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty, it doesn’t always seem that way. Criminal charges cast suspicion upon the person being accused. Those suspicions could be damaging in terms of reputation, career, and family. An experienced criminal defense attorney can guide you through the overwhelming criminal court process and see that your rights are protected throughout the ordeal.

Messrs. Kearns and Rotolo each have decades of experience with the criminal court system. They, together with the other attorneys and legal staff at Kearns Rotolo Law, will work diligently to ensure you receive fair treatment from the moment you are charged through your trial, if necessary.

Anthony Kearns’ experience as the longest serving Hunterdon County Prosecutor and now as a defense attorney gives him a unique perspective from both sides of the criminal justice system. As Prosecutor, Mr. Kearns led a team of assistant prosecutors and detectives with the goal of investigating, prosecuting, and preventing criminal activities. Through this experience, he gained insight into the way the State prepares its cases, which he now uses to mount powerful defenses for charges filed against his clients. He is well-respected and has earned a reputation as a fair and compassionate attorney.

Victor Rotolo served as an officer on the Elizabeth, NJ police force for two years prior to becoming a trial attorney. His experience on the police force gave Mr. Rotolo a deeper appreciation of the hardships facing people who couldn’t defend themselves and served as the foundation for his mission to protect others like them, a mission he has pursued with passion for more than 40 years.
