How an Experienced Longport Defense Attorney Can Help

Even though minor criminal charges may seem insignificant, do not assume there won't be consequences. Even minor offenses can result in jail time, probation, and fines, as well as a damaging criminal record. Without proper legal representation, you run a higher risk of more severe penalties. A criminal defense lawyer with municipal court experience can improve your odds of avoiding significant penalties by negotiating for dismissal of the charges, reduced penalties, downgraded charges, etc. If you are eligible for a diversionary program like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, your attorney can also coordinate your application to improve your chances for acceptance. Once you complete the program, your charges are dismissed, and you avoid a criminal history.
