Seaside Park Municipal Court
Seaside Park NJ Criminal Attorney
For anyone arrested in Seaside Park it is hard to envision that this barrier island town was once inhabited by the Algonquian tribe of the Lenape Indians. The town is now a Jersey Shore hotspot with an extremely high number of criminal, DWI and motor vehicle offenses considering it is only about .77 square miles and has a population that is less than 1,600 (i.e. 1,579 by the 2010 Census). While some of the indictable and disorderly persons offenses represent overflow from the adjacent municipality of Seaside Heights which operates at much higher intensity, this borough is no slacker on its own when it comes charges. The Seaside Park Municipal Court processes over 500 disorderly conduct, marijuana possession, resisting arrest, DWI, obstructing and other criminal offenses every year. If you were issued a summons, arrested or otherwise charged in Seaside Park with any type of charge, our Ocean County defense firm has the ability to effectively battle your offense. Our team of attorneys not only has 100 years of experience but also includes several former prosecutors like Matthew Dorry who served in as many as 20 municipal courts in the county.

Common offenses of this variety include simple assault, possession of drug paraphernalia, obstructing the administration of law, harassment, drinking underage, and possession or use of a fake ID.

The classic motor vehicle tickets and summonses falling in this category are driving while suspended, driving without insurance, possession of cds in a motor vehicle, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Although a summons does not result in a criminal record, you will nonetheless be subject to serious penalties upon conviction. There are automatic motor vehicle points, fines, increased insurance rates and even mandatory periods of suspension for many traffic offenses.
If you were arrested in Seaside Park for an indictable crime like burglary, aggravated assault or a heroin, MDMA, or cocaine related drug offense, Seaside Park Municipal Court lacks jurisdiction to decide your case. The court with authority to handle your charge is the Ocean County Superior Court in Toms River, and this is where your matter will be set if it involves a first degree, second degree, third degree or fourth degree crime.
