How an Experienced Lacey Township Defense Attorney Can Help You

In New Jersey, even minor offenses can lead to serious implications such as probation, fines, jail time, and a criminal record that could haunt you for years. If you try to handle your case in municipal court without professional legal help, the chances of incurring harsher sentences go up greatly. An experienced attorney with municipal court experience can work on your behalf to reduce any penalties, have your charges downgraded, or persuade prosecutors to dismiss the case. Depending on your eligibility, a good attorney can also help you apply for diversionary programs such as Pre-Trial Intervention and Conditional Discharge, which would allow you to keep a clean record without facing prosecution.
