New Jersey Municipal Court Defense

Most Battles Are Won Before They Are Fought

At Garces & Grabler, P.C. we believe that it is critical for one’s criminal defense attorney to be leading the “cutting edge” of case law and technologies rather than merely riding on the fringe of them.

To most people, the only court experience they may have to undergo is in the local municipal courts or township court. While these municipal courts have been dubbed the “people’s courts,” a person choosing to proceed without an experienced “local” municipal court defense attorney might not ultimately agree with this label.

Most people fail to realize that even minor criminal and/or traffic offenses heard in New Jersey municipal courts can carry grave consequences including, but not limited to:

  • extensive loss of driving privileges
  • a criminal record that may affect future employment and federal loans
  • extensive fines
  • county jail

Even traffic offenses such as driving while suspended and driving without insurance often result in these mandatory jail and/or extensive loss of license terms.

New Jersey municipal courts are no place to learn on the job or to be your own lawyer. You need an experienced New Jersey municipal court attorney; even improper turns and speeding violations can result in costly New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (formerly DMV) and insurance surcharges and grossly increased insurance expenses.

Our New Jersey municipal courts defense team routinely appears in over fifty municipal courts across New Jersey and have collectively saved centuries of loss of driver’s license for our clientele through aggressive criminal defense and negotiation. With no other charge is this style of defense necessary more than for driving while intoxicated (DWI) charges.

Our experienced attorneys have trained under some of the foremost DWI defense attorneys in the State. While some defendants and lawyers alike may opine that a DWI case is a hopeless cause, we, along with our team of highly experienced experts, leave no stone unturned. If a defect exists in a DWI prosecution, we assure our clients that we will find it.

Maintaining active offices in Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Union, and Essex Counties, our team of skilled and experienced DWI defense attorneys, along with former New Jersey State Police Breath Test experts with whom we work, are currently routinely challenging and prevailing in DWI prosecutions.

Our New Jersey criminal defense team is also one of a handful of New Jersey law firms actively involved in several phases of critical and detailed inspection and cutting edge litigation concerning the Office of the Attorney General’s roll out of the Alcohol Test 7110 MKIII-C breath test machines.

What is Municipal Court?

A lot of people want to know exactly "what is municipal court?" A municipal court is a court whose jurisdiction or authority is limited to a specific municipality, county, community, or city. Municipal courts can preside over only those cases and offenses that have taken place within their jurisdiction.

So what is municipal court in New Jersey, and what does it mean for New Jersey residents? The Municipal Courts in New Jersey are considered courts of limited jurisdiction, having responsibility for motor vehicle and parking tickets, minor criminal-type offenses (for example, simple assault and bad checks), municipal ordinance offenses (such as dog barking or building code violations) and other offenses, such as fish and game violations. A Municipal Court usually has jurisdiction only over cases that occur within the boundaries of its municipality. Many serious criminal cases, such as robbery, auto theft, or assault, start out as complaints filed in the Municipal Court but those cases are transferred to the Superior Court located at the county courthouse.

In these difficult economic times, we offer a free consultation and affordable payment arrangements to fit your budget.
