Advantages of Having an Attorney in Municipal Court

The Municipal Court is the level of the New Jersey court system that handles the majority of criminal cases. Most people who are facing charges in municipal court are doing so for the first time and are unaware of the ins and outs of the criminal justice system. This can be a daunting experience, especially if you do not have an attorney to help navigate the process--and even if your charges are minor, chances are you could still face jail time and a damaging criminal record if you are convicted.

Having a skilled attorney who has handled municipal court cases before will give you a better chance for leniency and favorable outcomes. A good attorney can negotiate for lighter penalties, downgraded charges, or even have the charges dismissed completely. If you're eligible for a diversionary program such as Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge (either of which can help you avoid jail and a criminal record), your attorney can coordinate your application for the best chances of acceptance.
