Why You Need a Skilled Attorney in Municipal Court

Even seemingly minor offenses in New Jersey can result in undesired consequences, such as substantial fines, jail time, and a detrimental criminal record that could haunt you for years. Choosing to represent yourself in municipal court is a risky decision that heightens the probability that you'll receive the maximum penalty for your charges. A competent attorney boosts your chances of either having the charges dropped entirely or obtaining a more lenient sentence. Furthermore, a proficient lawyer can assist you in applying for diversionary programs like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, which could lead to the dismissal of your charges once you are accepted and complete the program.
