Elmwood Park Municipal Court 182 Market Street, Elmwood Park, NJ 07407

"My experience in the courtroom overseen by Judge Anthony and Prosecutor Kellie Reyes left me completely disillusioned, painting a stark picture of a system seemingly more interested in revenue than justice. It was disheartening to see how tickets, even those with erroneous information, turned into inescapable fines, underscoring a process that feels rigged against the ordinary citizen. The underlying message appeared to be that regardless of the circumstances or inaccuracies in the charges, the outcome remains financially burdensome for those who dare to contest. This practice, coupled with the imposition of court costs even for those seeking to correct or challenge these mistakes, renders the notion of a fair hearing moot. It's a scenario where the scales of justice seem tipped towards generating income rather than adjudicating with fairness and integrity."

"Scam artists . 60 people in a small court room. They take their sweet time and extend court . The judge sits there and laughs with the lady next to him the whole time while people are just waiting to be called up . Fines are ridiculous high . More than what is shown on the ticket . Out of 60 people nobody’s case was dismissed even with minor violations ."

"The police will write you endless amounts of tickets. Half the force uses steroids, if you argue with them, they will start yelling at you, and make you feel uncomfortable. The prosecutor and the judge doesn't care about justice, just about how much you can pay. They intentionally fill up the court room and drag court on for hours. Its inhumane the way they treat you. Half the court staff is on facebook instead of doing thier jobs. The judge doesn't even know any of the laws. If you make his job difficult by going to trial, I guarantee he will make your case more difficult to win. What a joke!"

"Can't reschedule a court date with Elmwood park. Officer didn't want to take my Gieco app as proof of insurance.. (gotta show up and lose a day of work + pay the ticket) they just want their money and for the blacks and spics to stay away from their neighborhood is how my experience felt anyway."

"Garbage Police. Thugs. Same goes for the so called "Judge" and the prosecutor. All in bed together. There is NO justice in this court. "Protecting the rich and serving the working class/poor with bogus tickets." Fishing for anything that they can make money off of. Unprofessional, Tyrants. Straight Garbage department."
