Know This Court
What makes Mount Holly's court different
Mount Holly is Burlington County's seat, and its municipal court at 23 Washington Street has an unusual profile for its size: 1,532 moving-violation filings in the July 2025–June 2026 court year, but nearly as many criminal-case filings — 1,326 — which is a far higher criminal share than most of the county's courts. Traffic from the Route 38 and Route 541 corridors lands here alongside a steady municipal criminal calendar of disorderly persons matters.
One distinction worth keeping straight in the county seat: the municipal court handles traffic tickets, DWI and disorderly persons offenses. Indictable criminal charges are heard by the county Superior Court, which also sits in Mount Holly — two different courts in two different buildings. Shugar Law Office is headquartered in Mount Holly and appears in both.
What We Defend
Charges we defend in Mount Holly
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, with real defenses hiding in the radar and laser certification records.
Speeding Tickets defenseLeaving the Scene
Even the property-damage version carries 2 points, license loss exposure and possible jail. The State still has to prove you knew about the impact — knowledge is the usual battleground.
Leaving the Scene 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.
