The Lento Law Firm Can Help You in Municipal Court

Some people assume that because Franklin Joint Municipal Court deals mainly with minor offenses, they can simply appear on their own behalf without an attorney and expect similar results. The truth is that even minor offenses can result in fines and jail time in New Jersey, not to mention a damaging criminal record--and these outcomes are far more likely without a good attorney representing you. A New Jersey criminal defense lawyer who has experience in municipal courts can help you get a better outcome.

Attorney Joseph D. Lento can work on your behalf for a reduction in penalties, downgraded charges, or complete dismissal of the charges. You may also be eligible for a diversionary program such as Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, either of which could help you avoid jail time and a criminal record. If you're eligible, Mr. Lento can coordinate your application process for the best chance of acceptance into one of these programs.
