Defense Strategy for Camden County CDL Holders
In Camden County, traffic cases are quasi-criminal matters heard by Municipal Court judges at the Superior Court location. A common and effective strategy is negotiating a charge reduction—for example, from reckless driving (5 points) down to careless driving (2 points). This can save thousands in NJ insurance surcharges over three years and protect your CDL status.
- Contact an Attorney Immediately: Do not pay the ticket. A plea of guilty is a conviction that will go on your driving record and be reported to your employer and the FMCSA.
- Case Review & Evidence Gathering: We obtain the officer’s notes, calibration records for radar/LIDAR, and any dash/body cam footage to challenge the state’s evidence.
- Pre-Trial Negotiation: We engage with the prosecutor to seek a reduction to a non-moving violation or a lower-point offense to minimize CDL impact.
- Trial Preparation: If a satisfactory plea cannot be reached, we prepare to contest the violation at a trial before the Municipal Court judge.
- Post-Trial Mitigation: If convicted, we advocate for minimal penalties and explore options like defensive driving courses to remove points.
