4. Criminal Offenses and Municipal Practice

Criminal and Municipal Defense

​Facing criminal charges is one of the most serious and stressful experiences an individual can endure. The outcome can affect not only your freedom but also your family, employment, immigration status, and reputation. At The Law Offices of Thomas T. Kim, we provide skilled and strategic representation to clients charged with crimes and municipal offenses throughout New Jersey and New York.

​

Experienced Defense for Serious Charges

  • Our firm represents individuals in a wide range of criminal matters, including but not limited to:

  • Assault and violent crimes

  • Theft, burglary, and property offenses

  • Drug possession and distribution

  • Driving While Intoxicated (DWI / DUI) and traffic offenses

  • Domestic violence allegations

  • Fraud, forgery, and white-collar offenses

  • Juvenile matters

  • Probation violations and contempt charges

  • Whether your case is pending in municipal court or superior court, we work tirelessly to ensure your rights are protected at every stage — from investigation and arrest through plea negotiation, motion practice, and trial.

 

Municipal Court Representation

  • Municipal court matters, though sometimes viewed as minor, can have significant long-term consequences, including license suspension, fines, points, and criminal records. Our firm regularly defends clients in municipal courts across Bergen County, Hudson County, Passaic County, and New York City, handling DWI/DUI cases, disorderly persons offenses, and traffic violations with the same level of preparation and commitment we bring to more serious cases.

 

Strategic Defense, Individualized Approach

  • Every case requires a tailored strategy. We begin by conducting a thorough review of the evidence, police reports, and witness statements to identify procedural errors, constitutional violations, or weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. We then develop a focused defense plan designed to achieve the most favorable outcome possible — whether through dismissal, reduction of charges, or alternative sentencing.

 

Protecting Your Record and Your Future

  • Even a seemingly minor conviction can have lasting effects on your record and livelihood. Our firm assists clients in pursuing expungements, post-conviction relief, and license restorations when available. We also advise clients on the potential immigration consequences of criminal charges, ensuring that every aspect of your situation is considered before any decision is made.

 

Commitment to Advocacy and Justice

  • We understand that every client’s situation is unique. We treat each case with the seriousness it deserves, maintaining open communication and providing clear guidance throughout the process. Our goal is to safeguard your rights, protect your future, and ensure that the government is held to its burden of proof at every stage.
