Why You Need a Good Attorney in Municipal Court

Municipal courts mainly deal with minor offenses, but it's still a bad idea to appear in municipal court without a lawyer because even minor offenses can result in jail, probation, fines, and a criminal record that affect you for many years. An experienced criminal defense attorney can greatly increase your chances of a more favorable outcome. A good attorney can negotiate for you a lighter sentence, reduced charges, or complete dismissal of the charges depending on the facts. A lawyer can also help you petition for diversionary programs that you may be eligible for, such as Pre-Trial Intervention and Conditional Discharge. Once you complete the diversionary program, your charges will be dropped and your criminal record stays clean.
