At Sussman & LeBoeuf, LLC in East Orange, our criminal defense attorneys represent clients who are charged with a variety of municipal court offenses, including those involving:
- Traffic violations
- DWI/DUI/drunk driving
- Driving with a suspended or revoked license
- Simple assault
- Trespassing
- Shoplifting, theft, vandalism
- Minor drug offenses
Not officially considered crimes, municipal court offenses are classified as disorderly persons offenses or petty disorderly persons offenses. Individuals charged with these offenses do not have a right to a trial by jury and cannot be indicted by a grand jury.
Even a minor offense can have a major impact on your life. Convictions can result in jail time and fines. Traffic-related convictions can add points to your insurance record and result in higher insurance rates.
A conviction of any kind can make it more difficult to obtain or hold a job. Being convicted of a crime can even put some professional licenses in jeopardy.
At Sussman & LeBoeuf, our lawyers will fight the charges against you, whether you were ticketed for speeding or arrested for possession of marijuana. We are experienced criminal defense attorneys who know how to minimize the negative consequences of a criminal charge.
