The law firm of Puff, Sierzega & MacFeeters has over 40 years of experience representing individuals charged with municipal court violations, including traffic violations, drug offenses, and other minor criminal offenses, in the city courts of the State of New Jersey. Our firm and attorneys handle any municipal court violations.
Why You Need a Lawyer for Municipal Court Offenses
As with any legal matter, being represented by a knowledgeable and experienced attorney is crucial to ensuring your rights and privileges are adequately protected. The Municipal Court system is complex and crowded. Our attorneys can help ensure that you receive proper legal representation, regardless of the size of the violation. There are several reasons why one should never attend a municipal court hearing without the assistance of an attorney.
Types of Municipal Court Violations We Handle
First, it is essential to understand that the municipal courts of the State of New Jersey handle more cases than any other court in our judicial system. Consequently, municipal courts handle a higher volume of cases within a short period. Having a knowledgeable and seasoned attorney who can navigate the legal technicalities of the State statutory code and case law, thereby potentially having charges dismissed and/or downgraded, is beneficial. This can save the client a significant amount of time, expense, and aggravation.
Secondly, any mishandling of a municipal court charge can result in hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars of unnecessary fines and costs, points on one’s driver’s license (again resulting in additional expenses for auto insurance premiums), the loss of one’s driving privileges, and the loss of one’s freedom.
If you live out of state but are cited for a violation while in New Jersey, our firm can help resolve your case, often without requiring your appearance in court.
