What to Expect in Municipal Court

The municipal court process can vary by jurisdiction, but generally includes:

  1. Arraignment: Your first appearance where you enter a plea (guilty, not guilty, or no contest).
  2. Pre-Trial Conference: We negotiate with the prosecutor to seek favorable terms or dismissals.
  3. Trial (if required): If no agreement is reached, we aggressively defend your case in court.
  4. Sentencing or Case Resolution: Once the case is resolved, we ensure that all procedures are properly followed to finalize the matter.
