Being charged with a criminal offense, no matter how minor, can be distressing. You and your loved ones may be facing a lot of uncertainty as a result of the charges. A conviction can have long-term consequences. You could end up in jail or lose your custody privileges. You have an advantage if an Atlantic County Municipal Court hears your case. Municipal courts typically consider cases involving less serious charges, such as minor municipal infractions, DWI offenses, traffic infractions, petty disorderly persons offenses, and disorderly persons offenses. The likelihood of a long, drawn-out legal process is reduced by the fact that these cases are frequently heard promptly and without a jury trial. A fast-track process may be offered to persons who want to have their records wiped because jail terms are uncommon and rarely more than 180 days.

About Atlantic County and Municipal Court Violations

Atlantic County is the home county of America’s iconic resort, Atlantic City.  It is on the southern coast of the US and has a recorded population of 274, 534 according to the 2020 US Census. The county’s crime rate is slightly lower than the national average. It is ranked in the 70^th percentile for safety. This makes Atlantic County a relatively safe place to live in. The most common type of crime in the county is theft. 

Traffic tickets are high in Atlantic County as it is home to several major roadways including Route 9, the Atlantic City Expressway, Route 40, and Black Horse Pike. In 2017 there were 5,436 summonses issued, in 2016 there were 5,901, and a reported 4,788 summonses in 2013 (the most issued in the past five years). Unfortunately, the chances of most New Jersey residents avoiding a traffic violation are extremely slim. According to a report by nj.com, the judiciary reported that 110,032 of the 147,996 citations issued on non-toll roads in 2017 ended in a guilty plea or judgment. In court, just 366 drivers were found not guilty. However, judges threw out 9,832 traffic infractions due to things like a lack of proof. The remaining fines were reduced as part of a plea agreement or combined with other offenses.
