Former Prosecutors that Know the Manalapan Court and Have the Know How to Defend You.
If you or a family member have been charged with a traffic offense, criminal offense, disorderly persons offense, or a township ordinance in Manalapan Township you need a local attorney who knows this town’s court system. Inevitably, even in a quiet town like Manalapan, brushes with the law can occur from traffic stops by the police to interactions with security officer at a local store.
When something like this happens the criminal defense attorneys at Clark & Clark, all of whom are former prosecutors, are ready and able to step in and protect you. Our clients have been charged with a myriad of criminal offenses including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, harassment, criminal mischief, aggravated assault, simple assault, domestic violence, and possession or distribution of marijuana or prescription drugs like Oxycodone and Roxicodone. These offenses fall within the category of what are called disorderly persons offenses. These can be serious charges with real consequences. The Judge in these types of cases has the authority to render sentences up to 6 months in county jail and fines that can exceed thousands of dollars.
Experience in Traffic Infractions and DUI/DWI
Traffic tickets and other traffic infractions like drunk driving are also heard in Manalapan Township Municipal Court. These cases can include multiple traffic violations for DUI or DWI, Speeding, Reckless Driving, Careless Driving, Driving While Suspended or Revoked, Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident, and Driving Without Car Insurance. These offenses can carry hefty fines, loss of driving privilege in the State of New Jersey, and in some cases even jail.
We Have The Experience with Manalapan Township Cases
With over 35 years of criminal trial experience our lawyers have handled literally thousands of these types of criminal and traffic cases. Our trial and litigation experience has paid dividends for our clients. In many cases our careful evaluation of the police reports and interviews with witnesses have prompted judges to suppress evidence and forced prosecutors to outright dismiss cases. In other cases we have gone to trial and won.
In almost every other case without exception, where the evidence against our clients is strong, we have been able to effectively advocate on behalf of our clients to get pleas to lesser charges. These reduced plea offers are regularly to Manalapan Township Ordinances. This is ideal because township ordinances are legally considered crimes or criminal acts and do not carry the stigma of a criminal conviction.
In traffic court cases we have likewise been able to negotiate lesser fines and penalties in almost every case. For example, in most cases, we have been able to get careless driving, reckless driving, or speeding reduced to an unsafe driving violation which is a no point violation that carries only a fine.
Your record is something that you must vigilantly protect. With something as important as your record going it alone is simply not a good plan. We have the years of trial and negotiating experience you need to get the job done right.
