Brielle Court Lawyer

Brielle Police make a relatively small number of arrests. However, a lot of Brielle DWI and Brielle traffic tickets are issued in the borough. Both Routes 70 and Route 35 pass through Brielle. These two highways are the scene of many traffic stops. If you have been arrested or received a traffic ticket in Brielle, call a defense attorney now for help.

One spot in in Brielle that seems to be a common place to receive a ticket is the bridge on Route 35. The speed limit changes on the bridge (55 to 45?). Brielle police are known to sit at the bridge entrance waiting for speeders to fly by. Speeding tickets in Brielle will carry 2 motor vehicle points if you were driving 0-14 over the limit. A New Jersey speeding ticket will carry 4 points if you were speeding 15 to 29 miles over the limit. Going 30 miles over the limit will incur 5 points and the judge will probably suspend your license.

As if speeding tickets were not bad enough in and of themselves, many lead to other charges. For example, if you are stopped in Brielle for speeding and the officer has reason to believe that you are drunk, you may be arrested for DWI. Similarly, if are stopped for speeding and the officer smells marijuana, you may ultimately be arrested for drug possession.

The Brielle Municipal Court is located at 601 Union Lane, in Brielle, New Jersey 08730. The judge is the Honorable Paul Capatorto, J.M.C. The prosecutor is Steven Zabarsky, Esq. The court has jurisdiction over traffic tickets, Brielle DUI, disorderly persons and petty disorderly persons offenses and local ordinances.
