Why You Need Legal Representation in Municipal Court

Although municipal courts primarily oversee lower-level offenses, the consequences of such charges can still be serious. Even minor offenses in New Jersey can result in penalties like jail time, probation, or fines. Furthermore, a conviction might linger on your criminal record, potentially leading to long-term complications. Navigating these charges without skilled legal representation drastically increases your risk of harsher punishments.

At the Lento Law Firm, our Criminal Defense Team has broad experience with the nuances of New Jersey's municipal court system and can work to achieve positive results for our clients, whether we're negotiating a reduction in charges, advocating for lighter penalties, or seeking to have cases dismissed. If you are eligible, we can also assist with helping you apply to diversionary programs such as Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, which may result in your charges being dropped.
