About Carlstadt, NJ

Home to just over 6300 people, the Borough of Carlstadt sits in southern Bergen County along the western bank of the Hackensack River, just north of the Meadowlands Sports Complex. Once established as a rural village in the 1860s, Carlstadt was incorporated into a borough in the 1890s, and today it lies within the busy NYC suburbs--not only as a residential community but also housing numerous hotels for visitors to the Meadowlands Sports Complex and MetLife Stadium.

Do I Need an Attorney for Municipal Court?

It's not required to have an attorney, but it's highly advisable. Although cases managed by New Jersey's municipal courts may seem less severe than those in higher courts, the penalties can still have serious consequences. A conviction for any offense can lead to fines, probation, jail time, and a criminal record that could hound you for years. Without proper legal assistance, individuals facing charges often face harsher outcomes because they lack the understanding of their rights, courtroom procedures, or legal options.

At the Lento Law Firm, our Criminal Defense Team crafts effective defense strategies for municipal court cases. We will work on your behalf, negotiating for lenient penalties, reduced charges, or even dismissal of the charges. We can also help you explore diversionary programs for which you might be eligible, like Conditional Discharge or Pre-Trial Intervention, which upon completion, will result in your charges being dismissed.

We can assist with all court-related issues in Carlstadt Municipal Court, including:

  • Traffic violations like speeding
  • DUI/DWI charges
  • Simple assault
  • Criminal mischief
  • Harassment
  • Theft
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Drug-related offenses, including possession
  • Restraining orders
  • Diversionary Programs
