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.

Martin is absolutely the best at what he does! He helped me from beginning to end with an improper cell phone use ticket. He made himself available for me consistently and returned my calls if he wasn't able to speak. He explained things in detail and answered all my questions. I literally bugged this man with questions because of my anxiety and he was always calm and patient with me. On the date of my court hearing, I walk right in and right out as he tells me I got your case dismissed. I had the biggest smile on my face and I was certainly relieved. Hands down he is an excellent communicator and is surely effective! Thank you, Martin!Tasha

After receiving a ticket for driving in a construction zone, I reached out to Marty who was highly recommended to me. Marty was terrific and clearly laid out all the possible scenarios. Sometimes court can be overwhelming (points, no points, fine, reduced fine, guilty vs not guilty) yet Marty made everything simple and focused on what outcome was most important for me. Due to Marty, I walked in confident and walked out with my best possible outcome
I hope to not be in court again for any type of traffic violation but Marty will be my first call if I need assistance and anyone else reading this should do the same.

My lawyer helped save my license from a suspension. If I can't drive I can't work or feed my family. They were always on top of my case and helped me continue to drive for a living. I spoke with all three partners and each one knew about my case and helped each step of the way. Vanessa the manager was so helpful and didn't mind that I called every day.Augie

I received two cell phone tickets in the past year because I was using the GPS on my cell phone. Mr. Kron was able to get both tickets dismissed and put me at ease along the way.James

My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.Paul

This was my first time hiring an attorney for a ticket. I had a ticket for speeding in a school zone and was in jeopardy of having my license suspended. Martin was honest, clear and available. He just communicated with me and shared I was found not guilty!!! So grateful and thankful for Martin and his team!Satisfied Client

The NY DMV can be difficult to navigate, I am so glad that I called Martin A. Kron & Associates. Vanessa and the team resolved a difficult situation for my family in a matter of days.Anthony

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
