We also handle probation violations and expungements. An expungement can clear an eligible record from public view.

Where Do Pleasantville Criminal Cases Go to Court?

Pleasantville shares municipal court services with Atlantic City. The Atlantic City Joint Municipal Court handles matters such as traffic tickets, DUI charges, and lower-level offenses arising in Pleasantville. In contrast, the Superior Court in Mays Landing handles more serious indictable charges.

If you remain in jail after an arrest, release deadlines can become an immediate concern. Under New Jersey’s Criminal Justice Reform Act, the court generally must decide on release within 48 hours of commitment to the county jail. For eligible cases involving the use or possession of a firearm, prosecutors may request additional time for a firearms ballistic analysis; under a January 2026 New Jersey Supreme Court order, that extension cannot exceed seven days.

Why Hire Our Criminal Defense Lawyer in Pleasantville?

Founding lawyer Louis A. Casadia clerked for a criminal court judge, then spent more than seven years as an Assistant Prosecutor in Burlington and Atlantic counties. He finished that career in the Special Victims Unit.

Casadia grew up in South Jersey, and the New Jersey Supreme Court has recognized him as a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney. He knows how the state puts a case together because he used to do it.
