Municipal Court

New Jersey Municipal Court Lawyers with an Advantage

Municipal court (often referred to as “traffic court” or “night court”) is the lowest level court in the State of New Jersey. However, the insurance surcharges, State assessments and points that result from municipal court decisions can have long-lasting effects. In some matters - such as disorderly persons offenses, minor drug offenses and neighbor disputes - the fines, license suspensions and long-term consequences are often greater than the penalties for crimes handled in Superior Court.

At Burns & Associates, our two founding partners are former municipal court prosecutors. Our lawyers have over 50 years experience handling municipal maters, both as municipal prosecutors and defense attorneys. We can help if you are facing any Municipal Court charges, including:
