TRAFFIC TICKETS AND MUNICIPAL VIOLATIONS​


Picture
Law Offices of Dana Wefer can assist you with your municipal court appearances in Hudson, Bergen and Essex Counties.
Having an attorney in municipal court serves several functions:
  1. An attorney can help you plead a lesser offense if the ticket you are facing carries points;
  2. An attorney can help get some tickets dismissed if you are facing a range of moving violations;
  3. An attorney can force a trial and handle a trial if the charges are unjust or if there are mitigating circumstances;
  4. An attorney can obtain discovery from the prosecutor and make pretrial motions if you believe having more information about the circumstances of your offense will put you in a better position;
  5. An attorney can shepherd you through the process of municipal court more quickly and efficiently than you could do on your own.
​
The most serious municipal offenses – disorderly persons offenses – can result in a jail sentence, and you should be represented by an attorney.  Examples of these offenses include:
  • Trespass
  • Driving while intoxicated
  • Refusal to submit to a Breathalyzer test
  • Assault
  • Harassment
  • Disorderly conduct
We also offer defense services for:
  • Operating a motor vehicle while in possession of controlled dangerous substances
  • Driving on the revoked list
  • Speeding tickets
  • Careless and reckless driving
  • Failing to stop or yield
  • Driving without insurance
  • Leaving the scene of an accident
  • All other traffic violations
The Law Offices of Dana Wefer can serve as your advocate in municipal court.
