Comments Apparently the JC Municipal Court is not great on the phones. See the comments below. Someone on jclist.com did not like our page on this Court. Comments are appreciated on our site -- check out the left side of the page.
About the area The second largest city in the state of NJ, Jersey city has nearly 250,000 residents. The city is replete with hospitals, cinema halls, gyms, parks, shopping malls and corporate firms. On 9/11. many people were evacuated to Jersey City. The city has nearly 30 % African-Americans, 28% Hispanics and 17% Asians, making it a very diverse community. Occupations range from highly paid professionals to unskilled laborers. Jersey City is the birth-place of many eminent lawyers, doctors, engineers and other public figures.
Judges Chief Justice Vincent Signoril (or is it Wanda Molina?)
Type Of Cases Heavy load of traffic cases with the Holland Tunnel and a number of highways, plus a lot of crime that comes with being such a big city.

2007-09-21 20:33:27: Getting through via-telephone is rediculous 15 min. or more wait and the web site is no help as well.
2007-12-07 21:16:19: mss torres helped resolve a matter for me long distance she is a great employee
2007-12-26 21:05:02: i agree; why does the website listed take you to historical info, when clearly my reason for comong here is to pay a traffic ticket. i was on hold on the phone for a large amount of time.
2008-01-30 19:30:40: you try to call all the MANY #'s they give you and they are BUSY ALL THE TIME
2008-01-18 22:12:37: I am on the phone now watiting someone to answer my call almost more than 45 minutes
2008-02-25 15:36:51: I tried talking to the person on the telephone and she told me to come in and slamed the phone when I tried to ask a question.
2008-03-06 17:25:31: to get through to a representative is rediculous. i just call to find out the date i have to appear in the court and once in a while ill be on hold for 10-15 min. and then idd loose the call. thats really fucked up.
2008-03-24 15:21:02: the court need people to answer the tel;ephones.
2008-03-18 20:08:29: I think that the most of the employee's are not very customer service type and they are really not very wiiling to help.
2008-03-19 17:40:29: can't get through, their system keeps hanging up on me when i dial for a representative. FUCK this court, i can't take care of my shit if they won't even pick up the phone. THEY can pay my fucking ticket now.
2008-03-21 19:28:10: The entire system including every employee must be overhauled and new codes of conduct, clear & unambiguous guidelines for both public and employees to follow must be implemented. We must insist that this be an essential objective of the Attorney General's Office. The abusive & disrespectful behavior of the phone operators, clerks and yes, Judges, must be regulated. And stringent consequences must follow for those who disregard the law by disfranchising the community and constructively avoiding the duties (answer phone, take inquest, ect..) to the community. Not only does this kind of behavior thwart the rights of the people to be serviced in a respectful and prompt manner but it wrongfully imply that if you work for the Court and have the protection of Judges and their Clerks, it follows that you can abuse your position by not doing your job. Worse, do your job with the ill guided notion that you can behave in the most indignant manner and confidently tongue lash and spout insults with little to no regard of consequences. Why? To answer my own question, because THEY CAN! Because "WE THE PEOPLE:" have allowed these public officials and civil service employees to go UNCHECKED & UNPUNISHED. Stop complaining and start typing, write to the Justice Department, US Attorney General's Office, your SENATORS! When misconduct of ANY KIND is at the expense of the citizens, you have an obligation to yourself, your kids and their kids future to work effortlessly to eradicate illegal and undeserved mistreatment. It takes one pen, one enter button on a computer and several telephone calls to the press and your best outlet is the "e-media" Yes the internet is your friend, use it and expose all of your frustration through a blog. Jersey City Municipal Court System is out of control because too much confidence have been placed in Judicial Tyrants! When Judges behave in a manner less than respectful, abusive with malice and self interest at the forefront of their objective, it follows that employees at the most minuscule position will feel obliged to abuse you simply because, they can. How unfortunate for our kids and love ones, they will continue to be inundated with hopelessness only if you surrender your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES! When you can't trust in the Courts willingness to assess cases and LISTEN before sending your case to a mediator, when police officers take their time coming to a certain zip code or "ward" that's considered a "jungle" then you must find HOPE from within and work effortlessly to change via YOUR VOTE. The city council, elected judges, senators and yes, mayors and county executives as well, REMOVE THEM! If you can afford to, MOVE OUT OF HUDSON COUNTY! If the State of NJ does not want to grant you rights afforded to you and guaranteed to you via our US Constitution, then take your taxes and move your family to another State where Courts and elected officials are HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE ACTIONS AND FAILURE TO ACT! WE must insist that investigations be conducted and demand that new guidelines be issued and followed, when they're not, PINK SLIPS should follow with out question or FEAR of UNIONS! Perhaps than and only than will "WE THE PEOPLE" of Jersey City New Jersey realize CHANGE & ACCOUNTABILITY! I trust that this comment will be read and hopefully distributed to those who can implement change. Hiring Judge Kelly is a start but Firing Judges as well as lazy, abusive and crass customer service reps will send a clear message of a 'NEW" Jersey City Municipal Court that have a new "ZERO TOLERANCE" standard in place. Than and only than will the faith and assurance people once had in the JC, Municipal Court System will certainly return to it's proper place; the mind, heart and soul of "WE THE PEOPLE"
2008-04-16 13:56:26: I called to ask a simple question about paying a ticket using the on line service and the person was so rude that I couldn't believe that she gets paid for dealing with the public. With my job I job I deal with people everyday and I always treat them the way I would treat a family member. If you can't treat people with respect you shouldn't have a paying job dealing with the public
2008-04-28 21:00:40: 4/28/08 - I have been on hold for 1:20 minutes to cancle my court date and then I am disconected, WOW this is crazy. Now there wil be an warrent for my arrest. Is this how the court in JC work. I am not from JC. what the officier said I was stopped for was what I was giving a ticket for again WOW. How do they get away with this kind of system?
2008-04-30 15:41:02: Employees are rude and discourteous; no one answers the phone; I've been on hold now for 40 minutes. All I need to know is who to make my check out to. Why isn't this information posted on the website; This website is completely U-S-E-L-E-S-S and a waste of time!!!
2008-04-23 17:53:08: Need a fax number added
2008-05-07 13:08:08: web site and phone service is a joke! the employees are very rude and unhelpful
2008-07-03 13:57:00: The last time I called I spoke with Brenda and she was a great help. There was no holds or rude remarks. This is the 4th time that I've had to call the court and had to go in a few times too and everyone seemed pretty helpful to me.
2008-08-13 21:25:41: Absolutely insane - One hour and 40 minutes on hold and noone is answering. Need to find out how to pay traffic ticket. Worst cusomer service ever.
2008-08-22 22:02:35: everytime i've tried to reach customer service, the call just drops out of nowhere. maybe they should put more $ into upgrading this piece of crap system! i wound up having to go up up th ecourt in person, to handle my business. YAY
2008-08-25 00:49:17: the court stinks i cannot even get my ticket amount on the website and my ticket amont isnt listed on my ticket! what kind os system is jersey city running?
2008-07-30 20:07:22: This court is ridiculous. Rude customer service. Well, they aren't exactly CS. Just people wanting to take our hard earned money. I have a traffic violation which totally does not make sense. Then I called in about it and found out I have a parking violation I never knew about. There was no ticket on my windshield. AND i have to take time off of work to fight this. The tickets cost less than my salary. I am beginning to hate Jersey City. They have licenses to rob people legally??? where can I write a letter to for complaint?
2008-07-28 19:49:04: i just called to get information on how i can pay my ticket and the customer service was the worst i ever had before, rude people i think they dont even care about why are we calling for or why we need assistance.
2008-11-11 22:55:01: whoever the city hired to actually answer the phones is the rudest woman ever born. She calls her self Pat and she should be fired. All city workers should abide by the same code of ethics the state workers have to abide by and not take gifts from the public.
2009-03-02 00:13:06: I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO THE PUBLIC THAT THE CLERKS AT MUNICIPAL COURT ARE NOT RUDE WE ARE OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID (YOU) THE PUBLIC BLAME YOUR TICKETS ON US. WE DID'NT GET THE TICKETS U DID SOO PAY THEM.
2009-03-04 15:31:37: The women who answer the phones are RIDICULOUSKY RUDE!!! I mean, as soon as she picked up she had an attitude with me. If you are so underpaid and overworked IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM!!! You are there to do a job so do it, and do it well. I'm not asking you to pay my ticket or change my court date. IM ASKING FOR COURTESY!!!! Be respectful. Don't get angry when you read these posts depicting the RUDENESS that is your BEHAVIOR! Do your job. I didn't hire you so don't take your issues out on me.
2009-03-09 15:31:26: They tell u ur wait time is 3mins, but u be on hold for 30 to 45 mins.
2009-03-11 02:49:33: Don't feel bad people, I work there and I can't ever get anyone on the phone.
2009-03-13 19:47:56: Yeah they suck soo much. never call them they will never help you. just pay for the ticket dont bother calling those people. not worth it

2009-04-10 19:31:51: SCAM THIS IS A SCAM YOUR FUCKING BUSTED
2009-04-11 02:08:21: In the year of 1991,how many numbers and alphabets were they on a issued summons? Ticket Number to be exact.
2009-04-13 17:02:25: I don't know what you are talking about> O had a legit defense but needed a new date and talked a pleasant, direct lady who took the time to find my ticket, answered my question and got me a new date.
2009-06-30 23:01:33: After having horrible experience(s) with rudeness, I was sure I couldn't be alone. Lo and behold, the majority of comments on here are all about the rudeness of the people who answer an the phones. The JCPA is a racket. The people that answer the phones have to deal with all sorts of people who are justifiably angry over this corrupt system. I don't envy them, but it IS their job.
2009-05-19 14:15:46: I tried calling 3- times, no one picks up the phone. Ridiculous service.....
2009-07-07 11:09:22: Worst service ever. All they care about is money. All Jersey City government officials are money hungry!
2009-07-24 17:20:50: Corruption, inefficiency has ridden the city and the state. Though I am a life-long democrat, I will vote of Christie this time. And of course, Healy and his cronies are going to be history. We need efficient, lean administration in the city and state. Then will these highly inefficient staff at the Muni court will pick-up the phone.
2009-07-08 19:56:21: JCPA customer service people are inconsiderate and inefficient. they are not interested in doing their job properly just want the govt. salaries and perks. When taking credit card payment over the phone they made so many mistakes repeatedly that even a 10 year old can do better. I guess city workers can't easily be fired for rudeness or inefficiency. So I don't have any high hopes.
2009-07-08 20:43:49: jersey city is my hometown however i hate it. the whole system is corrupt from the garbage removal to cops and judges. there is no justice and where is the cops when u need them they only pull people over that look like can pay a ticket so they can meet their quota
2009-07-10 19:53:15: The municipal Court system is a joke. They are disorganized, rude, and compartmentalized where noone knows what the other is doing. After calling the court to get a court date, I received three different answers to the same question, in addition to writing in after receiving such a rude representative on the phone. I have yet to get a ticket settled after six (6) months and four court appearances. Now I am being sent threats of having my license revoked if I don't come to court. The system on which this country was founded has been watered down so much that we have little to nothing left of it. It is time for us, the people, as a whole to go back to the basics and learn what it means to be a citizen of the Unites States, living under a constitution. It says "We The People", not 'we the people in charge'. It is time to show the morals of a real human being, regardless of what personal issues representatives may be going through, because I have news for you, everyone is going throug something. You should not take out your frustrations on the public, who are mostly unaware of the protocol when visiting the court. We are human beings, not animals and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
2009-07-15 22:42:24: OMG......what do? after the ticket is paid they send a warrent after you......who to call...? who is in charge? rude big time.....no matter what proof you present it does not matter....Is jersey city part of the usa?
2009-07-16 00:06:18: I too had the same problem....time to call the media
2009-08-09 01:40:33: Not only are the teller at the court house nasty, a few of the cops are very much racist. My self and few others were pulled over and i got the most tickets of the three. Now you tell me. we all committed the same act and because i was black the cop that wrote the tickets gave me three. His partner seem very nice. I going file a complaint against him.When cops are cops they behave like their are above the law and every one else are ........just gotta deal. Now where is the justice......
2009-09-29 20:31:21: I have tried and tried to reach the parking ticket division over the phone. They tell me the estimated wait time is 30 seconds and each time I have waited over 30 minutes before giving up. That is ridiculous....
