What Is Mid-Salem County Municipal Court?
Unlike many cities, boroughs, and townships across New Jersey that maintain their own municipal courts, several municipalities in Salem County have opted to combine their resources within one joint court--namely, Mid-Salem County Municipal Court. Located on West Avenue in Woodstown, Mid-Salem County Municipal Court hears municipal-level cases for the following Salem County communities:
- Mannington Township
- Borough of Woodstown
- Quinton Township
- Borough of Elmer Borough
- Oldmans Township
Mid-Salem County Municipal Court primarily addresses minor cases in these municipalities, including traffic tickets, municipal code violations, and disorderly persons offenses. For serious crimes that qualify as indictable offenses, initial proceedings may occur here before these matters are transferred to Salem County Superior Court in Salem, NJ, for trial.

Why Legal Representation Matters in Municipal Court
Although you have the right to represent yourself in Mid-Salem County Municipal Court, doing so can leave you vulnerable to unfavorable results. Even minor violations in New Jersey can carry stiff penalties, including substantial fines, potential jail time, and a lingering mark on your criminal record that can show up in criminal background checks. These consequences can create long-term challenges in both your personal and professional life. Without skilled legal representation, you may face harsher sentencing than necessary for your alleged offenses.
The Criminal Defense Team at the Lento Law Firm provides strategic representation tailored to get you the best outcome possible. We aim to protect your future, whether by crafting a defense for acquittal, negotiating for reduced penalties, or taking steps to have your case dismissed altogether. Where applicable, we can also assist you in qualifying for diversionary programs like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, which may lead to the dismissal of charges upon successful completion of the program.

- Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
- Traffic violations
- Simple assault
- Vandalism
- Harassment
- Drug-related offenses
