Municipal Courts of New Jersey
A municipal court typically has jurisdiction only over cases that occur within the boundaries of its municipality. The municipal courts in New Jersey have responsibility, among other things, for:
- Motor vehicle and parking tickets
- Traffic tickets
- Non-indictable criminal offenses
- Municipal ordinance offenses (such as dog barking or building code violations)
- Fish and game offenses
- Motor vehicle offenses
I have extensive experience working with local prosecutors and judges. One of the most important skills of an attorney, is knowing when to plea bargain or go to trial. I will take every necessary step to give you an advantage in court and seek an appropriate outcome in your case.
Traffic Offenses
When faced with a traffic offense, you risk points on your license, which could result in an increase in insurance rates or even suspended license. If you have been issued a traffic ticket, I will attend municipal traffic court with you and present legal reasons why the charges should be dismissed or reduced. I also provide reasons why the state should not assess points against your driver's license. I may also ask for a reduction of the fines you may be required to pay if convicted.
Criminal Offenses
I also represent you when you face non-indictable criminal charges involving alcohol offenses, disorderly conduct, shoplifting, or property crimes. A conviction can have serious consequences, including a potential jail sentence and fine. As an experienced New Jersey criminal defense attorney, I can provide the experienced advocacy necessary to defeat your charges or limit penalties in your case.
