Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
In NJ, would the township prosecute a petty disorderly persons offense under 2C:33-4A or do I have to get an attorney, or do it myself, because the defendant is sending me letters saying I have to get my own attorney to prosecute this?

I am guessing that you wrote the charge. If so then it depends on the court. Some judges allow a citizen to prosecute their own claim, some require the town prosecutor to prosecute all complaints. You are going to have to check with the court administrator in the town where you wrote the charge what the judge's policy is.
