If you have been arrested for drug possession or received a speeding ticket or citation for a traffic violation such as driving with no insurance or DUI/DWI, the consequences can be serious. They may include fines, loss of your driver’s license, or even jail time. Pleading guilty to a traffic offense, even to a speeding ticket, will not only mean a fine but application of the New Jersey DMV points system, which could lead to eventual suspension of your license and extremely high insurance rates for several years.
Before pleading guilty to a traffic or speeding ticket, it is often worthwhile to discuss the situation with an attorney. Contact our Clark, New Jersey office to make arrangements for a free consultation with one of our Union County criminal defense lawyers. You may permanently damage your case by talking with police and prosecutors before talking with an attorney.
For nearly 25 years, our attorneys at Prince & Portnoi have represented clients facing municipal court charges. When our lawyers represent a client, we look at what the State can prove, not what our client has done. The State must prove municipal court cases, like all other criminal cases, beyond a reasonable doubt. By demonstrating even before trial that the State has no case, we may be able to arrange for a plea bargain, reduced charges, or even complete dismissal of the charges.
