Do You Really Need an Attorney at Municipal Court?

You are not required to have an attorney represent you at Upper Township Municipal Court, but having one could significantly improve the outcome of your case. Unfortunately, some people downplay the importance of municipal court charges because they are typically minor offenses--but in New Jersey, even a conviction for a disorderly person's offense can result in jail time, fines, and a criminal record that could haunt you for years. Having a lawyer who understands the municipal court system can quite possibly help you stay out of jail, get lighter penalties, or have your charges dropped altogether. If you qualify, your attorney may also be able to help you get into a diversionary program like Pre-Trial Intervention that could help you avoid jail time and a criminal record.
