Summary Courts
Summary courts are also known a municipal or magistrate courts. We handle all summary court offenses. Although the maximum criminal sentence these courts can typically impose is 30 days and/or fines, there are many hidden consequences that can affect you for years to come. Some of these consequences include loss of driver’s license, enhanced penalties for future offenses, higher insurance rates, and loss of right to own firearms or ammunition. Further, conviction for some of these offenses can result in the deportation of foreign nationals, even if they are here legally.
