Know This Court
What makes Bordentown Township's court different
Bordentown Township's court at 1 Municipal Drive recorded the third-largest moving-violation docket of Burlington County's 40 municipal courts — 7,866 filings in the July 2025–June 2026 court year, with 82 DWI filings. Route 130, Route 206 and I-295 all cross the township, and tickets written on any of them are returnable here.

The two-Bordentowns trap: Bordentown Township and Bordentown City run separate courts, and neither sits where you'd guess. The Township's court is here at 1 Municipal Drive; Bordentown City's court holds its sessions in Fieldsboro. The court name on your summons controls.
What We Defend
Charges we defend in Bordentown Township
Each card opens the full guide for that charge: the statute, the real penalties, and the defenses that hold up.
Driving While Suspended
N.J.S.A. 39:3-40 starts at a $500 fine, MVC surcharges and up to six more months of suspension — and climbs to mandatory jail when the suspension traces to a DWI. Many cases begin with a suspension the driver never knew about, and that notice question is where the defense starts.
Driving While Suspended defenseSpeeding Tickets
2, 4 or 5 points depending on speed — and Turnpike tickets written under N.J.A.C. 19:9-1.2 carry the same point exposure as Title 39 speeding. The radar and laser certification records are where the defense starts.
Speeding Tickets defenseDWI / DUI
Not a points case but a different fight entirely, with license forfeiture, interlock rules, and strict limits on plea deals. The defense lives in the stop, the field tests, and the breath readings.
DWI / DUI defenseReckless Driving
5 points, possible jail, and a charge that often arrives stacked on top of a speeding or careless ticket from the same stop. What it gets amended to is usually the whole case.
