If you have been charged with Driving While Intoxicated, traffic offenses, or a disorderly persons charge in New Jersey, don’t make the mistake that it is something you can just “handle”.
Even though you have the right to represent yourself in Municipal Court, it may not be the right choice. Municipal Court is real court. Depending on the charges you are facing, the Judge can suspend your driving privileges, impose thousands of dollars in fines and penalties, place you on probation, and -in some cases- even sentence you to jail.
If you walk in unprepared, you are at a disadvantage from the start.

Municipal Courts in New Jersey handle serious cases. Drug offenses, assault, harassment, and even some moving violations can result in probation or jail time. Make the wrong choice and you could be paying for it for the rest of your life. In New Jersey Disorderly Persons offenses, such as assault, terroristic threats, and most drug offenses carry up to six months in county jail. Traffic offenses such as DWI, Driving While Suspended, and other violations can result in the loss of your driving privileges as well as potential jail time. Don’t make the mistake of believing these are not serious offenses with significant penalties.
You never went to law school. You may have never been in court. The judge and the prosecutor handle cases like yours every day. That’s the difference.
