Municipal Court Attorney Serving
Paterson, New Jersey & the New York Metropolitan Area
The Benefits of Having a Lawyer for DWI and Moving Violations
The temptation to take on a municipal court charge by yourself is powerful. It’s easy to think that you will be able to talk yourself out of a situation when you know someone at the courthouse. But many people who try to represent themselves end up having the “book thrown at them,” and suddenly they face hefty fines or a suspended driver’s license.
With a municipal court criminal defense lawyer at your side, there’s a peace of mind that comes with knowing all legal bases are covered and that you have high-quality, experienced representation to protect your rights, even in municipal court.

CONTACT USWhat to Do When A Ticket Requires You
to Appear in Court
Tickets requiring a municipal court appearance are handed out every day. Before going to court alone, an intimidating experience in and of itself, or worse, pleading guilty to a charge that should’ve been dismissed, think about what is at stake. You may be subject to suspension of driving privileges, points, insurance surcharges, heavy fines, community service – even jail time.
Having qualified representation at your side increases the chances your charges are downgraded, or even better, determined that the validity of the stop that generated the offense was illegal, and tossed.
