Why Hire an Attorney for Municipal Court

In New Jersey, even moderate offenses could have major repercussions like jail time, probation, and costly fines. The impact doesn't end once your case is closed, either—a criminal record could cause significant problems down the road. If you choose not to have an attorney, the chances of a positive outcome are greatly reduced. Having an attorney who knows the New Jersey municipal court system is your best chance to get a good result. A good attorney can often negotiate with prosecutors to reduce or eliminate charges and penalties. If you're eligible for a diversionary program like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, a good attorney can coordinate your application for the best chances of acceptance into the program.
