How We Can Help
In New Jersey, even minor crimes can have significant consequences--including fines, probation, and even jail time. Not to mention that any conviction, no matter the crime, can remain on your criminal record for many years. This is why it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side when appearing in municipal court--someone who has the knowledge and experience to work toward a more favorable outcome. This could include negotiating for downgraded charges, lenient penalties, or even having the charges dismissed. Your attorney can also help coordinate the application process if you are eligible to participate in a diversionary program like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, which could help you avoid a criminal record.
