About Highland Park, New Jersey

Located along the Raritan River, the land now known as Highland Park was primarily used for agriculture until around the 1870s, when a suburban housing development called Highland Park was built there. Today, as a fully incorporated borough with a population of 17,000, Highland Park continues to be a popular suburban area within the expansive NYC suburbs extending into Middlesex County.

About Highland Park Municipal Court

Highland Park Municipal Court convenes in the Municipal Building on S. Fifth Avenue in Highland Park. It primarily handles minor offenses such as traffic tickets, violations of municipal laws, and disorderly persons charges. Indictable offenses, on the other hand, are referred to the Middlesex County Superior Court in New Brunswick for prosecution. During periods when the Superior Court offices are closed, such as holidays and weekends, an on-call municipal judge may issue emergency temporary restraining orders if required.

The Importance of Legal Representation in Municipal Court

Even minor offenses in New Jersey can result in serious repercussions, ranging from substantial fines and jail time to a detrimental criminal record. Self-representation in a municipal court is a risky decision that could increase the likelihood of receiving the maximum penalty for your charges. A seasoned lawyer can maximize your chances of having charges dismissed or obtaining a reduced sentence. Additionally, a good attorney can assist you in qualifying for diversionary programs like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, which can help keep your criminal record clean if you fulfill the requirements.
