Crimes arising out of Mountainside are handled in either Mountainside Municipal Court or Union County Superior Court. Persons charged with an indictable offense (commonly referred to as felony charges) in Mountainside will have their case handled in Union County Superior Court, which is located at 2 Broad Street in Elizabeth. In Union County Superior Court, the criminal court process can be long and difficult to navigate through without the proper legal representation. Criminal cases that do not result in a plea bargain require the following:

1. First Appearance;
2. Pre-Dispositional Conference (PDC);
3. Post-Indictment Status Conference;
4. Post-Indictment Arraignment;
5. Pretrial Conference;
6. Trial; and
7. Sentencing.

Non-indictable offenses arising out of Mountainside are handled in Mountainside Municipal Court, which is located at 1385 Route 22 East. The Mountainside Municipal Court process consists of a violations bureau and a trial court. The Honorable James D. DeRose presides over the trial court, which handles offenses requiring a court appearance and contested matters. Many traffic and ordinance violations can be paid through the violations bureau or online at www.NJMCDirect.com.

The Mountainside Municipal Court Process can be complicated. Cases heard before Mountainside Municipal Court may involve the following:

1. First Appearance;
2. Plea Negotiations;
3. Trial; and
4. Sentencing.
