Bergen County Municipal Courts Lawyers
Hackensack - Paramus - Ridgewood - Saddle River
Municipal Courts are the lowest judicial level in the New Jersey court system, and are granted limited jurisdiction to handle cases within the boundaries of their municipality. They are the busiest courts in our state.
At Chase & Chase, our attorneys represent clients in municipal courts for cases of a non-criminal nature, such as:
- Traffic violations
- Municipal ordinance offenses
- Neighborhood disputes
- Disorderly conduct
- Domestic violence
In instances of domestic violence, we help clients obtain temporary restraining orders from municipal court judges.
Traffic Tickets
Traffic violations can significantly impact motor vehicle insurance rates. When motor vehicle points are assessed they may result in license suspension, increased premium and/or surge charges. Traffic offenses include the following violations:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Careless driving
- Driving without insurance
- Driving without a license
- Running a stop sign or traffic light
- Driving with expired license plates
Having Chase and Chase attorney appear at your side in municipal court provides several advantages. You have legal counsel to inform you of your rights, ensure the citation is legally valid, and to work with the prosecutor to dismiss or reduce charges.
