The Necessity of Legal Representation in Municipal Court
While municipal courts typically deal with less severe offenses, the consequences of a conviction in New Jersey can still be significant, potentially involving jail time, fines, probation, and a lingering criminal record. Self-representation in municipal court often increases the likelihood of harsher penalties simply because defendants lack experience, negotiation skills, and knowledge of their legal rights. With a New Jersey criminal defense attorney skilled in municipal court processes, these risks can be minimized. The Lento Law Firm's Criminal Defense Team can advocate for lesser penalties, negotiate charge reductions, or even secure case dismissals. Additionally, we can explore alternative resolutions like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge if you are eligible, potentially getting your charges dismissed upon completion.
