Municipal Defense Attorney
Handling all Municipal Court matters
In New Jersey, certain offenses are handled in municipal court, while far more serious crimes are handled in Superior Court. If you have been charged with a municipal court offense, such as disorderly person offenses, petty disorderly person offenses, local ordinances or traffic offenses, it is important to hire a law firm with experience in this legal arena.
If you face charges in municipal court, we can defend your rights. We can also seek to reduce indictable offenses, so that they are tried in municipal court rather than in Superior Court. Whatever your circumstances, we are prepared to help.
DWI - DUI
- We will not assume your charges are warranted and immediately seek a deal. Although this approach is the fastest and easiest way for an attorney to resolve a case, we understand these charges can be life-changing for our client. Oftentimes, a conviction can lead to mandatory jail sentences, significant fines and lengthy driver's license suspensions.
- Our lawyers are zealous in the defense of New Jersey DWI and other cases handled in municipal court. We understand what is at stake and the serious consequences that a conviction can bring.
- Upon retaining our services, we will investigate the facts and circumstances of your arrest, review the police reports and field sobriety and blood alcohol tests. When appropriate, we work with experts to identify any inconsistencies or contradictions in the evidence against you
