Lyndhurst, in Bergen County, New Jersey, is intersected by the New Jersey Turnpike and the Lyndhurst Draw, which transport freight and residents across county and state lines. Though bustling, Lyndhurst is a big town with a small-town feel. Ranking 70% above other towns, cities or villages, Lyndhurst, home of the Golden Bears, is a safe place to live. But even in a pleasant township like Lyndhurst, criminal charges land people in jail weekly. Most people get into legal trouble at one point in their lives; we simply look at trouble a little differently from person to person.

Beyond the initial conviction, your criminal record can limit your job opportunities and enhance future criminal charge sentencing.

Important Information about Court in Lyndhurst

Here’s some information about the Lyndhurst court that you might need on the day of your first and subsequent appearances:

367 Valley Brook Avenue, Lyndhurst, NJ

Lower-severity criminal offenses and traffic offenses are heard in Lyndhurst Municipal Court, which handles not only traffic violations like a DWI, but disorderly persons offenses, petty disorderly persons offenses, other motor vehicle infractions, municipal ordinance violations and local licensing matters, like fishing or gaming violations. Disorderly persons offenses and petty disorderly persons offenses, like small amounts of marijuana possession charges, simple assault, harassment, shoplifting, and disorderly conduct, though also heard in municipal court, carry distinct outcomes.

Disorderly persons offenses are punishable  by a fine of up to $1,000.00 and six months in jail, while a petty disorderly persons offense is punishable by fines up to $500.00 and 30 days in jail. Both types of charges show up on your criminal record, but may be downgraded to a municipal ordinance violation with potentially lower fees, no jail time, and no criminal conviction in a plea bargain, depending on the offense and the quality of your criminal defense lawyer. Moreover, the conditional discharge program for first-time offenders may offer the option to avoid criminal conviction sentencing and the added record when the program is completed. A person with no prior criminal record charged in Lyndhurst Municipal Court may also qualify for the conditional dismissal program, which allows a participant to have the disorderly person charge dismissed after completion.
