New Jersey Municipal Court Lawyer

Experienced Traffic Ticket Attorney in Camden County, NJ Provides a Free Initial Case Review for Clients in Voorhees as well as Burlington County, Gloucester County, and Throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania

The municipal court is the town-specific court. Every town in New Jersey has them, though some towns share with neighboring municipalities. These courts are spread throughout the county you live in. A skilled New Jersey municipal court lawyer can help you with the following types of matters:

• Motor vehicle violations – Traffic violations such as speeding or reckless driving; license suspensions; failure to have insurance and other motor vehicle violations. These violations can cause points to be added to your driving record and can result in fines and penalties. If you get too many points you may lose your license, the right to drive and even your job. If you’re convicted, your insurance premiums will probably go up.
• DUI (driving under the influence) and DWI (driving while intoxicated) – These cases can be quite serious. They can result in jail time, fines and penalties along with increased insurance rates. They can also result in a license suspension or even a license revocation. If convicted, you will be required to attend education courses and you may be required to use an interlock Ignition device before you start your car. Second and third DUIs and DWIs have even harsher penalties.
• Criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, small theft and similar crimes – For theft cases, if the value is under $200 it will be heard in New Jersey Municipal Court. If the value is over $200, then it will be heard in New Jersey Superior Court.
• Building code violations
• Fish and gaming violations
• Minor drug charges such as CDS in a motor vehicle

More serious cases (ones that usually begin with an indictment or could begin with an indictment) are tried in New Jersey Superior Court.
