Marlboro Township, New Jersey
Situated in northern Monmouth County, Marlboro Township derives its name not from a popular cigarette but from the rich deposits of marl found in the area. Largely a rural farming community for many decades, Marlboro has gained in popularity since the 1950s as an upscale suburb for New York City commuters. Today, the township offers a pleasant suburban lifestyle to its population of about 41,500 people.

The Marlboro Township Municipal Court is located within the township offices on Township Drive.

Municipal Court: Why You Need an Attorney
In New Jersey, even offenses that appear minor can lead to substantial fines, jail time, and a permanent criminal record with potential long-term impacts on your life. These severe consequences are far more likely if you decide to represent yourself in municipal court because you're essentially entering the process without knowledge of your options or how to argue for them. A criminal defense lawyer with experience in municipal court can present persuasive evidence to prove your innocence, negotiate for reduced charges or penalties, and might even obtain a complete dismissal of the charges. If you're eligible for a diversionary program like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, your attorney can also assist with the application process to increase your chances of acceptance.
