Palisades Park Borough, New Jersey Municipal and Traffic Court Law Firm
Have you been arrested for drug possession, charged with speeding, or accused of shoplifting in the Borough of Palisades Park? A guilty plea to these and other municipal and traffic court charges can lead you down an unhappy road. A simple fine is often not the only consequence you face. You may also be in danger of the loss of your license, possible jail time and a long-term impact on your professional career or employment opportunities.
Borough of Palisades Park Municipal Court
The Borough’s municipal court is located in the Palisade Park Municipal Building. The Honorable Joseph Rotolo presides over the Palisades Park Borough Municipal Court. Court Administrator Kathy Scala supervises the court’s day-to-day business and operation. Like most municipal courts in the county, this court handles local traffic offenses, ordinance violations and quasi-criminal charges, such as the following.
- DWI/DUI
- Marijuana Possession
- Simple Assault
- Shoplifting
- Disorderly Conduct
- Drug Paraphernalia
- Moving Violations
The court handles approximately 20 disorderly persons complaints and about 100 traffic tickets and DWI cases each month. For more serious offenses, you may have to initially appear in this local court, but your case will then be moved to the Bergen County Superior Court.
