About Loch Arbour, New Jersey
Occupying less than a half-square mile just north of Deal Lake and Asbury Park, Loch Arbour Village is one of New Jersey's smallest communities, home to approximately 225 people. Incorporated in 1957, Loch Arbour was formed out of Ocean Township by a group of residents who voted to secede from the township to avoid condo developments. Today, this fully residential community offers its inhabitants a quiet residential community with easy access to the beaches, shopping, and nightlife of nearby Asbury Park.

Why Hire a Municipal Court Defense Lawyer?
Being found guilty of a crime in New Jersey carries potentially serious consequences, regardless of the crime's magnitude. The penalties can range from hefty fines to jail time, not to mention a long-standing criminal record, all of which could significantly affect your life. Despite the fact that municipal courts predominantly deal with minor offenses, appearing on your own behalf without a lawyer can markedly increase your chances of receiving stricter penalties.
By contrast, the assistance of a seasoned attorney can greatly enhance your odds of achieving a more desirable outcome. A good attorney can present crucial evidence to affirm your innocence, negotiate for lesser charges or penalties, and in some instances, even secure a dismissal of the charges. Furthermore, your lawyer can guide you through alternate routes to avoid a criminal record, such as applying for diversionary programs like Pre-Trial Intervention and Conditional Discharge.
