Criminal and municipal court lawyer
An indictable offense, a disorderly persons charge, or even a traffic ticket can turn your world upside down. Free consultation, and payment plans available.
What we handle
- Indictable offenses (felonies) in Superior Court
- Disorderly persons and petty disorderly persons charges
- DWI and refusal
- Driving while suspended, and license restoration issues
- Traffic tickets, points and insurance surcharges
- Municipal court matters in Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Middlesex and Union counties
Why a ticket is worth a phone call
Municipal court feels minor until the points, the surcharges and the insurance increase arrive — or until a suspended license turns into a new charge. Many matters can be resolved to a lower-point or no-point offense. That conversation costs you nothing.
Payment plans
We work out payment plans for criminal and municipal court matters. Tell us your situation when you call and we will be straightforward about the cost.
Do not talk to police before you talk to us
You have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel. Officers are permitted to be persuasive; nothing you say talks you out of a charge, and most of what people say in the first hour is used against them later. Say that you want a lawyer, then call 856-424-7277.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer for a traffic ticket?
Often it pays for itself. Points, surcharges and insurance increases add up over years, and many tickets can be resolved to a lesser offense.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We work out payment plans for criminal and municipal court cases.
Will I have a record?
It depends on the charge and the outcome. Some first-time matters are eligible for diversionary programs, and some older records can be expunged. Ask during the consultation.
Tell us what happened. We'll tell you what we would do.
A real conversation, not a call center. If we are not the right firm for your case, we will say so.
Or email info@starkmanfirm.com. Contacting the firm does not create an attorney–client relationship, and information sent before we agree to represent you is not confidential.
