CRIMINAL AND MUNICIPAL COURT MATTERS
If you have been charged with an indictable or nonindictable offense in New Jersey, it is essential that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in prison time, suspension of driver’s license, excessive fines, and penalties, such as registration for Megan’s law, loss of the right to bear arms (especially penalizing for hunters, correction officers, or police officers), or deportation if you are not a U.S. citizen.

Our attorneys also handle a wide variety of municipal court matters, including criminal and quasi-criminal offenses. The most common types of offenses handled by us in municipal court are traffic matters, including disorderly persons/petty disorderly persons, minor drug possession, simple assault, harassment, and truancy. While the charges faced in municipal court may sometimes be minor, the consequences can be high as municipal courts are empowered to assess fines, suspend or revoke your drivers license, order you to pay for victim's losses, impose custodial sentences or probation, and in some instances, jail time. In addition, municipal court convictions may possibly affect your immigration status.
We are familiar with municipal court procedure, and are available to represent you in any municipality throughout New Jersey. We will fully investigate your case, aggressively represent you, and work with you to find the best possible solution to your problem.
