Municipal Court Offenses

Though many are not aware of their involvement, municipal courts are a huge part of the day-to-day criminal affairs throughout New Jersey—and the only court most people ever come in contact with.  While they have limited jurisdiction, municipal courts are responsible for minor criminal offenses, municipal ordinance offenses, and other offenses occurring within the boundaries of the specific municipality.  It is extremely important to work with a lawyer who has a thorough understanding of local laws and ordinances, and who has tried many municipal court cases.
