Cases Heard: Deal Municipal Court has authority to oversee the disposition of municipal ordinance violations, DWI/DUI, traffic offenses and disorderly persons charges. Since there is a right to presentation of indictable charges to a grand jury and this can only occur at the Superior Court, Deal Municipal Court lacks jurisdiction over first, second, third and fourth degree crimes. An offense falling outside the municipal court’s authority includes aggravated assault, possession of a weapon of unlawful purpose, shoplifting merchandise with a value of $200 or more, eluding and any other offense that is designated as a “crime”.

DUI Charge in Deal New Jersey
For a town spanning 1.24 square miles and having 750 residents, the Borough of Deal has quite a bit of DWI, DUI and breath test refusal charges. In the typical year, more than fifty (50) drunk driving offenses are filed by the police in Deal. And unless the accused was able to come up with a genuine issue that Prosecutor Shamy and Judge Basen bought into, the individual was convicted. There is no plea bargaining of DWI or DUI cases so this was the only way to achieve a not guilty. This is precisely the reason why it is imperative that you do your research and hire an attorney skilled in defending driving while intoxicated/under the influence charges in Deal Municipal Court. The lawyers at this firm possess this level of qualification as former DWI prosecutors who are Alcotest certified and field sobriety certified. It also helps that we have appeared in this court many times on DUI cases.
