Why Quality Legal Representation in Municipal Court Is Important

Although municipal courts typically handle offenses that may seem minor, the consequences of a conviction in New Jersey can have a serious effect on your future. Even for minor crimes, you might face fines, probation, or, in some cases, jail time. What's more, a conviction could leave you with a criminal record, which might show up on background checks and negatively affect future opportunities for employment or housing. A knowledgeable attorney who is familiar with the municipal court process in New Jersey can increase your chances of a more favorable resolution. At the Lento Law Firm, our Criminal Defense Team can advocate on your behalf toward minimizing penalties, having charges dismissed, negotiating for alternative sentencing options, or assisting you in qualifying for diversionary programs like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge.

Our Team is equipped to represent you in a wide variety of matters, such as:

  • Traffic violations
  • DWI charges
  • Simple assault cases
  • Criminal mischief accusations
