Know This Court
What makes Westampton's court different
Westampton's court at 710 Rancocas Road recorded 5,910 moving-violation filings in the July 2025–June 2026 court year — the sixth-largest traffic docket among the county's 40 municipal courts. I-295 and Route 541 cross the township, and stops on either are returnable here, which is most of the explanation for a docket that size in a township this quiet.
One courtroom, three courts: the 710 Rancocas Road courtroom also hosts Eastampton Township's court and Hainesport Township's court, each with its own docket and session days. A summons from either of those towns sends you to this building — the court name on the summons tells you which calendar you're on.
What We Defend
Charges we defend in Westampton
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 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.
