About Upper Freehold Township, New Jersey
Situated on the western edge of Monmouth County, Upper Freehold Township is home to about 7200 people. Originally part of the larger Freehold Township in the early 1700s, Upper Freehold Township was established as a separate borough in the late 1700s as New Jersey adopted statehood, and it was eventually separated from its namesakes Freehold and Freehold Township as more communities broke off from Freehold and became their own boroughs. Today, Upper Freehold Township offers its residents a semi-rural lifestyle within the sprawling NYC suburbs.

The Importance of Retaining Legal Counsel for Municipal Court
In New Jersey, even minor offenses can lead to hefty fines, jail time, and a detrimental criminal record that could affect your future significantly. These severe consequences are more probable if you choose to navigate the municipal court process without legal representation. A criminal defense attorney experienced in municipal courts can present persuasive evidence of your innocence, negotiate for reduced charges or penalties, and potentially achieve a complete dismissal of charges. Should you qualify for programs like Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge, your attorney can assist with the application process to enhance your likelihood of success.
