• More information on Requesting a Plea Offer from Prosecutor:
  • If the prosecutor agrees to recommend a lesser charge, you will receive an email with the proposed lesser charge.
  • If you choose to plead guilty to the lesser charge, the judge will review the charge and your plea and decide whether to accept it.
  • If you choose not to plead guilty to the lesser charge, you can either:

1. Ask for a court date to address the charge in court; or
2. Plead guilty to the original charge and pay the fees online.

You can only make one plea offer request for each ticket.

Public Defender Application Form

Every defendant has the right to be represented by an attorney. If a defendant feels that he or she cannot afford an attorney, a judge may determine whether a public defender can be appointed. A defendant will need to complete a “5A Form,” which is the application for a public defender. This form asks for information that will enable the judge to determine if the defendant meets the indigency standards to qualify. If you wish to apply for a public defender, you may complete the form and mail, fax or email the signed and dated form to the Court prior to your court date. There is a fee of up to $200 that the judge will assess if the application is approved.

Liquor Licenses

The Borough Clerk is responsible for the issuance of new and renewed liquor licenses. Person- to-person and place-to-place transfers are also processed through the Clerk’s office. For information and application forms regarding licenses, transfers, and special permits, please visit the NJ Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s website.
