Find the Best Defense to Criminal Charges in Lyndhurst NJ

“If you need a Criminal Defense Lawyer who regularly defends clients charged with offenses in Lyndhurst, you have reached the right place.”

“An arrest in Lyndhurst threatens to derail your future. With a criminal record, financial penalties, and possibly a jail sentence hanging over your head, seeking help from a skilled attorney should be on your list of top priorities.”

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. Some cases can put you in jail for years, others might just end up giving you points on your license. Beyond the initial conviction, your criminal record can limit your job opportunities and enhance future criminal charge sentencing.

Whether you have been charged with a DWI, a petty disorderly persons or disorderly persons offense, or an indictable crime in Lyndhurst, you want to make sure your case is handled by an experienced attorney who can defend your interests, challenge the prosecution, and get you the best outcome. Contact a Lyndhurst criminal defense lawyer who is familiar with the in’s and out’s of effective defense for disorderly persons offenses and DWI charges in Lyndhurst Municipal Court, as well as felony charges in Bergen County Superior Court.  Our lawyers are well-versed in the many possible ways to combat the charges against you. We know which strategies work consistently, and how to implement them when your day in court arrives. We recommend you take a look at our DWI Defense Strategy Videos or Marijuana Defense Strategy videos if this applies to the nature of your charge.

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

(201) 804-2457‎

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.

If you receive a summons to appear in the local court in Lyndhurst, it is located at 367 Valley Brook Avenue. The court office is open Monday-Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm, and the court office can be contacted directly at 201-804-2457 (ext. 5).

Additional Lyndhurst Municipal Court Information:

  • George O. Savino is the Judge.
  • Rosario Presti is the Prosecutor.
  • Judith Moltz is the Court Administrator.

If you have been charged with a felony crime of the first, second, third, or fourth degree in Lyndhurst, your case will be sent to the Bergen County Superior Court to be heard and decided. These crimes have state prison attached and must be aggressively defended against if you want to avoid being a convicted felon in New Jersey.
