It is important to consult with an experienced Municipal Court attorney in order to understand your rights and expectations throughout the municipal court process. The Law Offices of Jeffrey W. Goldblatt have been representing individuals in Municipal Court who receive speeding and other traffic violations for over thirty five years. Recently, Mr. Goldblatt represented a Defendant in Edison Township Municipal Court. Mr. Goldblatt requested discovery from the State including radar certifications verifying that the radar device was in proper working order and administered properly on the date in question by the police officer. Persistence paid off. The municipal prosecutor was unable to provide the necessary and required discovery on the scheduled Court date as well as on two following Court appearances. As a result, upon motion of Mr. Goldblatt, the Court completely dismissed the speeding violation against his client.
Had the Defendant accepted a plea offer from the State,it would have resulted in his client receiving zero motor vehicle points. However, he still would have had to pay substantial fines. Because of Mr. Goldblatt’s insistence that the State provide the necessary discovery before the case could move forward, he was able to obtain a most favorable result for his client by having the charge dismissed with no fines or penalties imposed.

Of course, results vary from case to case. Past results cannot guarantee future outcomes. Each case rests upon its own individual set of facts and circumstances.
