Today, sitting at the busy junction of the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway, Woodbridge is both an important crossroads community and a bustling suburb of New York City, offering abundant shopping and dining options to its 103,000 inhabitants.

Why You Need an Attorney at Woodbridge Municipal Court
Though the offenses addressed in Municipal Court may seem minor, even minor offenses can yield substantial repercussions in New Jersey, including fines, jail time, and the negative implications of a criminal record. Without appropriate legal counsel, you are more likely to face harsher sentences for your purported offenses. A New Jersey attorney with specific experience in municipal court proceedings can improve your chances for leniency and a favorable outcome. A good attorney will know how to navigate the system, championing your cause and negotiating to lessen your penalties, reduce your charges, or potentially secure a complete dismissal of the charges. If you qualify for a diversionary program such as Pre-Trial Intervention or Conditional Discharge (which could lead to a dismissal of charges without a criminal record), your attorney can also assist you in applying for these programs, which improves your prospects of approval.
