Lakehurst Municipal Court
Lakehurst Criminal Defense Lawyer
Lakehurst may be best known as the site of the Hindenburg disaster but this Ocean County borough has a lot more going on these days. Its police department is quite active and routinely issues in excess of 500 criminal complaints in a given year. This is a significant number considering that the “Airship Capital of the World” only spans about one square mile and has 2,654 residents. If you were arrested or charged with a disorderly persons offense like marijuana possession, drug paraphernalia, harassment, lewdness, or simple assault, you should strongly consider contacting our firm. A conviction for an offense of this grade is nothing to take lightly as it exposes to fines, probation, or even up to 6 months in jail. The same would certainly be true if the offense you are up against is a felony crime of the first, second, third or a fourth degree. Even a serious motor vehicle ticket warrants the attention of a skilled defense attorney as your driving privileges could be placed into jeopardy if the summons is not handled properly.
Our firm, Marshall & Bonus, represents clients charged in Lakehurst with any criminal, DWI or traffic related violation. The defense team here includes former prosecutors with over 100 years of combined experience. One of the attorneys is Matthew Dorry, a highly respected member of the defense bar who served as municipal prosecutor in over 15 towns in Ocean County.

Penalties for crimes like these hinge on whether the grade is a first degree, second degree, third degree or fourth degree. First degree is the most serious and can result in up to 20 years in prison whereas fourth degree is the least severe carrying up to 18 months in jail.
