Why Hire an Attorney for Municipal Court

New Jersey takes a hard line on even minor offenses, and the potential consequences—like jail time, probation, fines, and having a criminal record—could cause big problems for you long after your case is over. If you don't have an experienced attorney fighting for you, chances are good the outcome won't be in your favor. Having a defense attorney with specific experience in the New Jersey municipal courts can improve your chances for a favorable result. A good attorney can negotiate to have your penalties minimized, your charges reduced, or charges dropped altogether. If you're eligible for a diversionary program like Pre-Trial Intervention, a good attorney can coordinate your application for the best chances of success.
