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.

Felony and Misdemeanor Criminal Charges in Mercer County Handled by Attorneys With More Than 35 Years Criminal Trial Experience

Criminal charges can have life altering consequences attached to them, whether it is the possibility of having to serve years in jail, or the loss of your driver’s license. That’s why when facing criminal prosecution experienced and aggressive legal representation is an absolute must. If you or a loved one are facing charges in a Mercer County court, the attorneys at Clark & Clark are exactly what you need on your side.

Difference Between Indictable Cases Pending in Mercer County Superior Court and Disorderly Persons Offenses Heard in Mercer County Municipal Courts

Uncertainty is perhaps the most worrying aspect of facing criminal charges in Mercer County so understanding the basics is an essential first step. Felonies, which are the most serious charges, are commonly referred to as indictable offenses. They are prosecuted by the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and heard in Mercer County Superior Court in Trenton.

At Clark & Clark we’ve handled many violent felonies such as Murder, Burglary, Robbery, Kidnapping, Aggravated Assault, Terroristic Threats, Alluding the Police, Sexual Assault, Rape, and Sexual Misconduct. We have also represented clients charged with many non-violent felonies such as Fraud, Criminal Mischief, and Distribution, Manufacturing, or Possession of CDS, (controlled dangerous substances such as Marijuana, Heroin, Cocaine, Oxycodone, and Roxicodone). Indictable offenses can carry lengthy state prison sentences and hefty fines that can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Misdemeanors, commonly referred to as disorderly persons offenses, are not handled in Mercer County Superior Court but rather are handled in the individual Mercer County town municipal court where the charge occurred. There are a wide range of disorderly persons offenses like Simple Assault, Disorderly Conduct, Harassment, Criminal Mischief, Shoplifting, Theft, Underage Possession of Alcohol, Providing Alcohol to Minors, and Possession of Marijuana Less Than Fifty Grams to name just a few. While they are generally considered less serious than felonies they nevertheless can carry Mercer County Jail sentences of up to 6 months, loss of driving privileges, and thousands of dollars in fines or restitution.

All traffic summonses are also heard in the Mercer County town municipal court where the charge arose. These cases commonly include violations for Drunk Driving, DUI/DWI, Speeding, Reckless Driving, Careless Driving, Driving With a Suspended or Revoked License, Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident, and Driving Without Car Insurance. These offenses are not criminal in nature, however, traffic cases can carry serious consequences like the loss of your driver’s license in this state for two years of more, and points on your driving record that will incur insurance surcharge payments, and insurance premium hikes. In some cases, certain traffic violations can even carry terms of incarceration in the Mercer County Jail.

Put Our Experience to Work Protecting Your Rights and Your Record

Clearly, with all of the consequences a case in Mercer County court could involve, putting up a defense without the best possible representation is simply not an option. With more than thirty five years of criminal trial experience on both the prosecution and defense sides of the process, the lawyers at Clark & Clark, continually achieve the most favorable results in criminal cases for our clients. Where our clients have been innocent, we have gone to trial and won. In many cases we have successfully litigated the suppression of the State’s evidence and obtained dismissals of the charges. In cases where the evidence against the client is strong, we have nevertheless been able to advocate on behalf of the client and negotiate a plea deal that involves significantly reduced penalties.

At Clark & Clark we have the skill and experience to investigate your case, analyze the evidence, and advise you on a course of action that is best for you. Whether we are seeking a dismissal, negotiating the best plea deal available, or defending your legal rights at a trial, we understand the courts in Mercer County, and how to make the system work best for you.

Typically, our clients are charged with criminal offenses that include shoplifting, theft, 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. Most of these types of offenses are called disorderly persons offenses which the Freehold Township Municipal Court Judge has the power to sentence someone convicted of such offenses to as much as 6 months in county jail and fine them in some cases thousands of dollars.

Experience in Traffic Infractions and DUI/DWI

We Have The Experience with Freehold Township Cases

With over 35 years of criminal trial experience our lawyers have handled literally thousands of these types of criminal and traffic cases. In many cases we succeeded in having the charges completely dismissed once we have carefully reviewed the police reports, spoken to witnesses in the case, and made our case with the municipal prosecutor. We have taken other cases to trial and won.

In almost every single criminal case where the evidence against our clients is very strong, our attorneys have nevertheless been able to successfully advocate on behalf of our clients, and convince prosecutors to reduce the initial charges. Often we are able to obtain plea offers to a Freehold Township Ordinance. Every town has local ordinances that if plead to will not be considered a criminal record and will not carry the negative effects stemming from a criminal conviction. For instance, in some cases resisting arrest can often be amended to an “Excessive Noise” type of ordinance. A plea to “Excessive Noise” type of ordinance is legally similar to a traffic infraction with no points and does not count as a crime or criminal act.

Similarly, in traffic court cases, in almost every case we are able to negotiate pleas to lesser infractions. In fact, in a great number of cases we are able to get careless driving, reckless driving, or speeding reduced to unsafe driving which is a no point violation.

When it comes to something as important as protecting your record from the negative effects of a criminal offense you need to hire the right people for the job. Our attorneys are the right people because we have the years of trial and negotiating experience necessary to get the best results.

Pleading Not Guilty to Charges in Middlesex Municipal Court

Middlesex New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyers

I contest charges against me. How do I plead “not guilty” in Middlesex Municipal Court?

About Middlesex Municipal Court Summons

If you were issued a traffic ticket or charged with certain criminal offenses in Middlesex, you will be sent a summons from the Middlesex Municipal Court. A summons will provide a date upon which the accused must appear in court if the charges were for any type of criminal offense. If the charges are for a traffic violation, the accused may be able to pay a fine in advance and avoid having to appear in court.

A Summons Date is Not a Trial Date

The summons date is not a trial date. It is a date that you must either appear in court or by which you must have made full payment for traffic offenses by that date. If you wish to contest any charges and plead “not guilty” to an offense you must take certain steps in advance of your summons date. You cannot contest charges on the date you were originally summoned, you must do so before your court date.

In traffic offenses, if you do not appear in court, or pay the traffic fine, it is the same thing as admitting to guilt for the traffic offense.

Contesting Charges – How to Plead Not Guilty in Middlesex Municipal Court

You may plead “not guilty” to any charge levied against you. However, to do so, you must contact the Middlesex Municipal Court and notify the prosecutor that you intend to plead not guilty before your summons date. The Court will then schedule you for case management and send you a hearing date to the address they have on file for you. If you move, or do not receive a hearing date in the mail, it is still your responsibility to contact the Court to find out your hearing date. Even if you did not receive your hearing notice in the mail, if you do not show up for your hearing, the judge may issue a warrant for your arrest and assess bail.

When you appear in court for case management you will be able to speak to the prosecutor and he will advise you of a possible plea agreement. This may sound like a simple process, but it is not and you should always have an attorney represent you if you plan to contest charges. The Middlesex Municipal Court prosecutor does not have to offer any agreement to accept lessor charges or to drop the charges against you. If the prosecutor does make an offer to reduce charges you do not have to accept it.

Having an attorney with you assures you that someone who understands the law and your rights will be on your side. The prosecutor’s job is not to defend you nor to represent your best interests.

If the prosecutor makes an offer, the judge will advise you of your rights and penalties that may be imposed for your violation and will reschedule your case for trial. The trial date will come to you via regular mail.

What to Bring With You To Trial

At trial, your attorney will present documentation, witnesses, and other evidence in your defense. Your attorney will advise you if you need to bring anything with you to court.

If You Live Outside the State and Cannot Appear in Aberdeen Municipal Court

Middlesex Municipal Court allows defendants who live outside the state of New Jersey to defend themselves by affidavit. However, defendants’ rights are limited. If you were charged with a serious crime, or an offense that carries “penalties of great consequence” you will likely have to appear in court even if you live outside the state.

The Court must approve your right to defend yourself by affidavit in advance of your trial date. If you are approved, the Court will send you a form to complete asking you to explain the circumstances of the offense(s) you were charged with. The form must be notarized and returned to the Court before your schedule court date.

It is important that you understand that if you exercise your right to defend yourself by affidavit, that you forfeit the right to appear in court and to cross examine any witnesses. The judge will read your affidavit and listen to the complaints against you and make a decision. The judge’s ruling will be sent to you in the mail.
