South Toms River Municipal Court

South Toms River Criminal Lawyers

The Borough of South Toms River may only have about 3,684 residents and measure 1.2 square miles but it sure has a much higher volume of criminal offenses than you would anticipate. In fact, this tiny municipality ranked in the 20 top statewide in terms of charges and incidents involving heroin or other opiates. As you might imagine, there is a lot of other crime and traffic violations that come along with this unenviable statistic. The fact that the Garden State Parkway, U.S. Route 9, Route 166 and County Route 530 pass through the community also tends to inflate the number of motor vehicle stops and arrests in the community self-described as “the little town with a big heart.” If you have had the misfortune of being arrested or charged with DWI, possession of heroin, simple assault, burglary, harassment or any other offense in South Toms River NJ, it is important that you hire an experienced defense lawyer.
