Maywood, New Jersey Municipal and Traffic Court Law Firm
When served with a ticket or summons to appear in municipal court, it may be easy to view the issue as no more than a nuisance, and therefore not give it much attention. You may be tempted to either plead guilty or represent yourself in court if you are facing a traffic charge, disorderly persons offense or municipal ordinance violation. This, however, can be a costly mistake. The collateral damage of a conviction, even in municipal court, can detrimentally impact your life down the road in ways that may not be apparent right now. With an increasing number of employers performing background checks, your future employment prospects could be adversely affected by any convictions on your record. Additionally, points on your license can cause your auto insurance premiums to increase, and remain increased for a prolonged period of time. At the Reinartz Law Firm, our experienced municipal court attorneys can help eliminate or mitigate the potential damages that a conviction can cause.
