What Charges Are Heard In Roselle Park Municipal Court?

Disorderly persons and petty disorderly persons offenses, as well as traffic violations, are heard in this court. This includes summonses and complaints issued by not only the Roselle Park Police Department but also those written by the New Jersey State Police and NJ Transit. The reason why we clarify this point is because a stretch of the Garden State Parkway, which is patrolled by state police rather than local officers, skirts the Roselle Park and any tickets or arrests made in this zone are heard in this court. The same is true for tickets and charges made by NJ Transit Officers overseeing service on the Raritan Valley Line to and from the Roselle Park Train Station.

If you were arrested for allegedly committing an indictable offense, namely, a crime of the first, second, third or fourth degree, your case will not be heard in this court. The Roselle Park Municipal Court has no jurisdiction to preside over felony proceedings, with exception of an initial arraignment, as the Union County Superior Court has jurisdiction over these cases. The most common charges falling within this category include drug distributionpossession of cocaine and other hard drugs, aggravated assaulteluding and burglary.

How Can I Avoid A Conviction?

Roselle Park Police DepartmentAll too often, individuals assume that a conviction is inevitable and that little can be done to avoid this outcome. This is clearly erroneous thinking. Police officers make mistakes just like all of us and the members of the Roselle Park Police Department are no different. It isn’t uncommon for a traffic stop, search of an apartment, or other stage of an arrest to be conducted improperly.  And even when a mistake cannot be identified, you should know that our attorneys are nevertheless able to avoid conviction in the majority of disorderly persons and traffic cases. Domestic violence related charges like simple assault or harassment frequently end in a dismissal. Other results include reducing the offense to a local ordinance, something that negates a criminal record. The point to keep in mind is that you certainly have a better chance than not or leaving court with no criminal record based on our lawyer’s prior record of success in Roselle Park.

Will I Have A Record If I Am Convicted?

The truth is that a conviction for any 2C offense results in a record that will show up on a criminal background check.  What this means is that a prospective employer or licensing board will have the ability to see that you were convicted of an offense like possession of marijuana, lewdness, etc. This certainly could effect their decision-making so it is clearly in your best interest to insure that you are found not guilty.
