How We Can Assist You at Oceanport Municipal Court
While municipal courts typically deal with minor offenses, it's erroneous to assume that a minor offense will have an insignificant penalty. In New Jersey, any conviction can lead to enduring consequences, such as jail time, fines, and a criminal record that could affect your life for years. Appearing at Oceanport Municipal Court without legal representation puts you at greater risk of the most severe sentencing, especially if you have no understanding of the law or of your rights.
At the Lento Law Firm, our Criminal Defense Team possesses an in-depth understanding of NJ municipal court processes and can significantly improve your chances of a positive case outcome. We can submit evidence to exonerate you, negotiate for reduced charges or penalties, and, in many cases, secure a full dismissal of charges. If you qualify for a diversionary program like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, we can also help ensure your application is correctly submitted and has the highest likelihood of being approved.
