DWI charges and other traffic offenses, such as speeding, reckless driving, and careless driving, are also handled in the local municipal court. Experienced Hackensack traffic lawyer Adam M. Lustberg is prepared to defend you against any traffic charges and help you avoid costly points on your license.
