Do You Need an Attorney for Municipal Court?

You have the right to represent yourself in municipal court, but it's not advisable. A conviction in New Jersey, even for minor offenses, can have lasting consequences, ranging from substantial fines to jail time and a criminal record that could impact your future for years to come. Although municipal courts do handle less severe offenses, managing these proceedings without legal representation can increase the likelihood of harsher penalties.

Conversely, enlisting an experienced attorney can enhance your chances of a more favorable outcome. The Lento Law Firm Team can present vital evidence supporting your innocence, negotiate for reduced charges or penalties, and, in some cases, achieve a dismissal of charges. Moreover, your attorney can guide you toward alternative solutions to avoid a criminal record, such as diversionary programs like Pre-Trial Intervention and Conditional Discharge.

The Lento Law Firm Criminal Defense Team is ready to represent you in a wide array of legal issues at Downe Township Municipal Court, including:

  • Traffic violations
  • Simple assault
  • Harassment

  • Drug-related offenses
  • Restraining orders
  • Diversionary programs
