How Having an Attorney Helps You at Municipal Court

In the state of New Jersey, a criminal conviction for even a minor offense can have significant consequences--including jail time, probation, fines, and a criminal record that could limit your life options for years. It is inadvisable to represent yourself when appearing at the municipal court, as this increases your odds for more severe penalties. Having an attorney with specific experience in municipal court affords you more options for a favorable resolution. An experienced attorney can negotiate for mitigation of your penalties, reduced charges, or even a complete dismissal of the charges. If you are eligible, your lawyer can also help you apply for diversionary programs like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, which can help you avoid a criminal record.
