UNDERSTANDING NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL COURTS
Municipal Courts handle disorderly persons offenses, traffic violations, and local ordinance violations. Although Municipal Court charges may seem less significant than Superior Court charges, they can still impact your future.
A conviction can lead to:
-
Jail time (up to 6 months for certain offenses)
-
Expensive fines and court costs
-
License suspension or points on your license
-
A record visible to employers or licensing boards
Suzanne focuses on minimizing impact, pursuing dismissals or conditional discharges when possible, and guiding you clearly and patiently through every step.
