Municipal Court
In New Jersey summonses for traffic infractions (driving while suspended, speeding, etc.), minor criminal charges (minor drug charges, fighting, theft, bad checks, etc.), zoning and local ordinance violations and DUI/DWI are heard in the town Municipal Courts.
Individual Criminal Charges (disorderly persons offenses) heard in a Municipal Court carry with them a potential fine of up to $1,000.00 (plus Court costs and State Assessments), the potential of 6 months incarceration and a loss of driver’s license of up to 2 years. Alcohol and Drug Charges involving a motor vehicle may have mandatory minimum loss of driving privileges as an outcome.
Local ordinance violations involve penalties and fines that depend upon the town and can go up into the thousand’s of dollars, sometimes per offense or on a daily basis.
In Driving While Impaired, which is the same as drunk driving and driving under the influence, the potential penalties include monetary fines and surcharges, loss of driving privileges, and the possibility of jail. Most penalties are mandatory and some are discretionary.
By retaining an experienced Municipal Court attorney you may be able to keep your license, avoid jail and minimize your fines, avoid or lower points on your license and avoid an increase in your insurance premiums.
