Hackensack, NJ Municipal and Traffic Court
If you’re like most Bergen County, NJ residents, you don’t spend much time worrying about traffic court or municipal court charges. Even if you get a ticket that requires you to appear in municipal court, you tend to minimize the potential consequences. But also like many others, you are probably unaware of the negative and often serious consequences of a guilty plea or finding of guilt in municipal court. If you have been cited for a traffic violation, a disorderly persons or a petty disorderly persons offense in Hackensack, New Jersey, the Reinartz Law Firm can offer you experienced legal representation in Hackensack Municipal Court.
City of Hackensack Municipal Court
The Hackensack Municipal Court serves the 45,000 residents in this municipality. It hears traffic violations on Mondays and non-traffic offenses on Wednesdays. Judge Louis J. Dinice presides over both traffic and criminal municipal court matters. The proximity of major roadways I-80, Routes 503, 17 and 4 contributes to the bulk of the court’s concentration on traffic citations. The court’s prosecuting attorney Richard Salkin has been licensed to practice law since 1973. The court has jurisdiction to handle moving and non-moving traffic violations, disorderly persons and petty DP offenses, municipal ordinance violations and fish and game violations.
Hackensack Municipal Court Charges
When you casually pay a fine rather than fight your municipal court charges, you are entering a guilty plea. Some potential consequences of this choice are points against your license, surcharges and fines, increased insurance rates, loss of your driving privileges, community service, probation, the possibility of civil liability, and sometimes county jail. Additionally, guilty pleas and convictions in municipal court go on your permanent record, potentially affecting insurance premiums, future employment, schooling and professional licenses. Multiple unchallenged charges will ultimately lead to more grave consequences.
