Why You Should Hire an Attorney for Barnegat Township Municipal Court

Although you are not obligated to have an attorney represent you in a municipal court case, your chances of success go up greatly if you do. A criminal defense attorney with experience in municipal court will be familiar with the local prosecutors and judges, allowing them to get you a more ideal result than going into the courtroom blind. Remember that in New Jersey, even a small offense can lead to jail time, fines, and having a criminal record. A good lawyer can help get more lenient penalties for you, get your charges reduced, or even have them dropped altogether. If you are eligible for a diversionary program like Pre-Trial intervention (which could also get your charges dropped), having a good attorney coordinate your application will give you a better chance of acceptance.
