Is Hiring an Attorney Necessary for Municipal Court?

While self-representation is an option at Municipal Court, it's important to recognize that even minor offenses in New Jersey can lead to serious consequences, such as hefty fines, jail time, and a lasting criminal record. Representing yourself could increase the likelihood of facing these harsher penalties without fully understanding your rights or how to defend them. The Criminal Defense Team at the Lento Law Firm can develop a strong legal strategy to help mitigate potential penalties. We can advocate for your acquittal, negotiate for reduced charges or penalties, or even achieve a complete dismissal of charges. If you're eligible for diversionary programs like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, our Team will handle the application process to enhance your chances of approval.
