What Is a Surcharge in the NJ Surcharge System?
Surcharges are fines assessed by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission each year for drivers who have accumulated excess points on their driving records or have committed serious, specific violations such as DUI.
There are collateral consequences to being found guilty of serious or repeat traffic violations in New Jersey. For example, if a driver has a first-offense DUI conviction, a driver might be fined $500 by the judge and fined $1,000 per year for the next 3 years by the state of New Jersey.
The three most common violations are the following:
There are several other violations that can cost drivers extra fines, but the three above are the most common. Do not hesitate to contact a lawyer to discuss your options regarding motor vehicle surcharges.

"So personable and nice."When I called the Firm I was very hesitant in even hiring an attorney but after speaking with the attorney I felt very comfortable in my decision in hiring an attorney. I had a reckless driving summons in NY and the attorney Lindsay Kron met me at court. She was so personable and nice. She was able to have my summons reduced to a no point no criminal violation with a minimal fine. This Firm is amazing and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them in the future.Rachel

"I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it."I am very happy with Mr. Kron's help. He had my ticket for driving with lapsed insurance in New Jersey (1st offense, no bad driving history) dismissed, all I had to pay were $33.00 in court fees. I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it.Mariya

"I will never deal with another attorney again."
I experienced a very difficult situation between the states of New York as well as New Jersey where I was potentially facing a 6-month suspension of my license. Aside from the fact that I live 6 hours from New Jersey, I was in dire need of professional expertise to ensure that my situation was handled as well as possible. I spoke with a number of attorney's and decided to hire Martin; and will never deal with another attorney again. Martin was extremely friendly, offered great advice and support and ultimately helped me to have all of the charges thrown out with my case being dropped.
As we all know, no one can promise or guarantee the same outcome. However, if you want the best chance to receive the best possible outcome, Martin Kron and his team are your only option.

"Excellent Service!"Once I called Mr. Kron's office, all of my issues were resolved. He took the time to review my case and recommend the best solutions for me; even from a financial perspective. I will recommend him to ANYONE who requests legal aid in his coverage area and will be calling him again if I find myself in another bind.Kevin

"I received invaluable advice on my case."I received a ticket for driving with an expired license and thought I'd go to court myself without consulting an attorney. However, last minute, a friend recommended Mr. Kron. Without much notice, I received invaluable advice on my case which spanned both NY and NJ traffic laws. Instead of having my license suspended, I received a minimal fine. I would highly recommend Mr. Kron He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and I'm very grateful I did not go at it alone.Talia
