Such “local” courts handle the vast majority of the day-to-day criminal charges, from minor traffic tickets to more serious misdemeanors like simple assault.

When the judge’s gavel comes down to pronounce your sentence in Municipal Court, it can be hard to know what to expect.
On the one hand, the exact consequences will vary based on the charge you are facing. For example, a disorderly conduct charge could result in a fine of up to $500 and a six-month jail sentence. A simple assault charge, on the other hand, could have fines up to twice that and require probation with electronic surveillance.
On the other hand, the immediate sentence or punishments of jail time, fines, and more are just the visible part of the iceberg of consequences heading your way.
Beyond expensive fines, jail time, and other direct consequences, a municipal court conviction carries a number of long-term side effects and impacts you might not be able to anticipate.
For example, traffic ticket convictions, even for minor offenses, can add up to a revoked driver’s license. A conviction on your record, even from municipal court, can be permanent. A blemish on your record could be enough to undermine your education or career.From college admissions officers to job recruiters and the bankers responsible for loan approvals, any criminal conviction could very well be the decisive factor in causing a rejection.
