NJ Motor Vehicle Violations Lawyer
The motor vehicle laws of New Jersey continue to change on a rapid basis. Many new laws have been passed by the New Jersey State Legislature with the goal of protecting those that visit the Garden State, and the Jersey Shore in particular. It is very common for those that visit the Jersey Shore to be pulled over for a motor vehicle violation that they had no prior knowledge of. For example, you now have to stop for pedestrians and wait until they have crossed the road before proceeding or face a fine, motor vehicle points, community service and possibly jail time if the pedestrian is injured.
If you receive a motor vehicle ticket while in Ocean County or Monmouth County, you need an experienced motor vehicle attorney. The criminal defense lawyers at Villani & DeLuca, P.C. regularly appear in the municipal courts throughout Ocean and Monmouth Counties, making them familiar with the court procedures and court personnel. Our experienced criminal defense attorneys can defend your rights if you have been charged with driving while suspended, speeding, driving under the influence (DUI/DWI) or if you have been faced with a car accident.
