Harrison Municipal Court Clerk

Worst court clerk in nj Wielding power as if he’s a judge ridiculous

If you happen to get a parking ticket after reading this sign since you weren't aware there's street cleaning - don't bother going to court, you'll lose.

Called a few weeks ago to ask how I could dispute a street cleaning ticket. The gentleman (court clerk?) on the phone wound up being rude & telling me that I got him really upset. I asked if they had any way (like in NYC) to dispute a ticket via an app, online or mail-in form. I was definitely not upset. I was patient & had a professional tone throughout the call. Even wishing him a great day at the end of the call.nnBefore he got upset, he misspoke and mentioned something about a form. I asked him to tell me more about this form & that’s when he lost his cool. To that, I said he doesn’t need to get upset & tried to calm him down & proceed with helping me out.nnHe went so far as to briefly explain to me the 3 branches of government & how they work together, to eventually explain why he couldn’t answer a question I had.nnTold him that wasn’t necessary & that I asked him because it’s within his purvue to have circumstantial info about how things work.nnThe whole point of the call was to dispute a ticket, and the only way is to show up to court. Mondays & Wednesdays are the only days, so I picked Monday, Sept 10th. He said I’ll get something in the mail to confirm. Never did.nnTurns out I can’t make the 10th so I called to cancel & just pay the ticket online. Turns out he made the 10th a pay by date, not a court date. So... did he screw me over by wasting my time? I would venture a yes as his professionalism was less than stellar on the call.nnThe lady that took the call today was the one that explained that it was setup as a pay by date & gave me a new court date. Here’s my complaint of the male court clerk.

Judge McNamara is extremely patient and understanding
