Manalapan Municipal Court Office Duties & Functions

The Manalapan Township Municipal Court office can assist you with court procedures and questions about your summons. For instance, should you need to need to change your court date, you must notify the Court Administrator immediately and be prepared to show supporting documentation. Please note that adjournments are not granted for indictable.
You must come to the office during normal business hours, which are Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You will need information from your ticket, such as the officer's name, time and date of the offense, and the statute number of your offense.
Not guilty pleas can be entered over the phone by speaking with the Court Administrator. You must enter a not guilty plea at least 7 days prior to your scheduled court date. Failing to do so is likely to result in you having to come back on a separate court date.

If you are not required to appear in court and wish to plead guilty, you can resolve your charges by paying the fine amount on your ticket. Payments can be made at the court office, or by credit or debit card (except for American Express) through the court's phone system at (732) 446-5593.
Online payments can be made at www.njmcdirect.com for parking and traffic tickets not requiring a court appearance only. Payments must be made from a Visa or MasterCard credit card or debit card, and there is a convenience fee for using this service.

Paying Your Fine vs. Going to Court

Even if you are not required to appear in court, it may be in your best interest to do so.  Paying your fine is an automatic admission of guilt, and could have damaging consequences such as points on your license, heavy fines and even jail time, depending on the offense you've been charged with.
Careful consideration needs to be given as to whether or not you should appear in court.  It is recommended that you consult with an experienced Manalapan Township Municipal Court attorney as to your best course of action. Although the court office can assist you with procedural information, they cannot offer you legal advice. You will need a lawyer to inform you of your rights, and the possible outcomes of taking your case to trial.
