NJ Municipal Law

Joe DeLuca Municipal Court AttorneyTraffic tickets are no laughing matter, and, if you do not have a municipal court attorney you owe it to yourself to challenge your case in court with the assistance of an experienced municipal court lawyer who may be able to help you avoid fines, penalties, insurance hikes and other potential consequences that could impact your driving privileges.

Living in an area where the main mode of transportation is your automobile, the loss of your license as a result of traffic violation or traffic offenses, such as DUI or DWI and reckless driving, can severely impact your driving privileges, and, as a consequence, your employment and way of life.

The fines involved in even some of the most minor traffic offenses are typically large, and, if ignored they can severely impact your driving record by way of points or penalties and result in costly insurance premiums and even a suspended license. By choosing to engage my legal services, you stand an excellent chance of eliminating these consequences by taking your case to court and letting me argue your case on your behalf.

For Traffic Violations, DWI & DUI Violations

Simply paying a traffic summons does not end the matter since the DMV attaches what are called “points” on your driving record for most traffic infractions. A few summonses on your driving record can total up enough points and result in the loss of your driving privileges. That is why it is important to defend yourself against a traffic summons, even if it is only your first violation.

While it might seem easier to just pay a ticket off and move on, through the legal protection provided by an experienced municipal court attorney, you take an active role in lowering your risk of exposure to the long-term ramifications that often go hand-in-hand with most traffic violations.

Possible reasons why your license can be suspended:

  • If you receive 12 or more points on your current driver record
  • Failure to appear in court or to pay fines
  • Failure to pay surcharges
  • Driving with a suspended license
  • Failure to provide proof on insurance
  • Drug or alcohol use or while driving
  • Violations of laws concerning controlled dangerous substances.
  • Reckless driving
