Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Monroe Township
A criminal charge in Monroe Township can follow two very different paths, and knowing which one you face changes everything.
Lower-level offenses, called disorderly persons offenses, are handled in Monroe Township Municipal Court at 1 Municipal Plaza and cover things like simple assault, shoplifting, and drug-paraphernalia charges. More serious indictable offenses, New Jersey's version of felonies, move up to the Superior Court, Law Division, in Middlesex County and carry the possibility of state prison. The distinction controls the penalties, the procedures, and the long-term mark on your record. In a township this large and still growing, charges arise from domestic disputes, traffic stops along Route 33 and the Turnpike corridor, and incidents at local businesses. Goldman Law Firm reviews the discovery, tests whether the stop and any search were lawful, and looks for diversionary programs that can keep a conviction off your record. We defend hard and explain every option. Call 908-692-7745 for a confidential free consultation.
