Did You Lose Your New Jersey Special Civil Part Trial Or Did The New Jersey Special Civil Part Refuse To Vacate A Default Judgment In A New Jersey Special Civil Part Case And You Still Want A Trial?

 If you disagree with the New Jersey Special Civil Part trial court’s decision, such as if a judgment is entered against you at trial or your request to vacate a New Jersey Special Civil Part default judgment is denied, you may ask the New Jersey Special Civil Part to reconsider its decision.  To do so, you must file papers with the New Jersey Special Civil Part, called a motion for reconsideration.  In some cases, the motion for reconsideration must be made in 20 days from the date of the New Jersey Special Civil Part court’s order that caused you to lose your case and/or which entered a New Jersey Special Civil Part judgment against you.  Motions for reconsideration must generally meet certain requirements.  If you intend to file such a motion, you should seriously consider consulting a New Jersey attorney who is experienced in preparing such motions. 

If your New Jersey Special Civil Part motion for reconsideration is unsuccessful or if you do not believe that a motion for reconsideration shall be successful, as well as or instead of filing a motion for reconsideration, you may appeal the case to a higher court -- the Appellate Division of the Superior Court.  There are very strict deadlines for filing appeals.   To appeal a New Jersey Special Civil Part final judgment that resolves all issues in the case, you may file a notice of appeal and other required documents with the Appellate Division within 45 days from the date of judgment and pay a fee to the Appellate Division – for example, Special Civil Part appeals are not heard by the New Jersey Special Civil Part and you should not try to file appellate papers with the New Jersey Special Civil Part!   As part of New Jersey Special Civil Part appeal, you usually must also prepare a written court transcript request and order a court transcript from the appropriate court that decided the matter against you and pay a fee for it.  Appeals are some of the most complex proceedings in the New Jersey Special Civil Part system.  The New Jersey Courts normally has forms available on the worldwide web.  However, neither court forms, websites nor advice from court personnel are good substitutes for a competent attorney’s legal services.  Each case has its own particular legal issues and therefore, its own challenges.   If you can afford an attorney, it is best to have the attorney perform the steps necessary to take an appeal.  Appeals from New Jersey Special Civil Part orders or judgments that are not final are called “interlocutory appeals” and the procedure for such appeals is somewhat different than those for appeals from final judgments or orders.  To get a quote to prepare your New Jersey Special Civil Part paperwork, call Paul DePetris at 609-714-2020 or email him at paul@newjerseyspecialcivil.com.

Why Not Handle A New Jersey Special Civil Part Case Myself?

Many people can and do successfully handle New Jersey Special Civil Part cases, from filing the first paperwork to the collection of a New Jersey Special Civil Part judgment.  However, many other people also make mistakes that lead to the dismissal of their cases or that result in the entry of a money judgment against them.  The greater the money at stake, the greater the reason to consider using the services of a competent attorney licensed to practice law in New Jersey to handle part or all of the New Jersey Special Civil Part case.  The following are reasons to use the services of an attorney to handle only a part or even all of your case:

·         New Jersey Special Civil Part fees often change

·         New Jersey Special Civil Part rules often change

·         New Jersey Special Civil Part employees cannot give you “free” legal advice and a judge may refuse to let you claim that you were right in taking an action (or in deciding not to take action) because you relied on advice from such employees

·         New Jersey Special Civil Part court forms available on websites may not cover every situation you may face in court

·         each New Jersey Special Civil Part case has its own particular legal issues and therefore, its own challenges

·         it is very common for people to file inadequate or incorrect New Jersey Special Civil Part complaints that result in the New Jersey Special Civil Part complaints or answers to New Jersey Special Civil Part complaints being rejected by the New Jersey Special Civil Part or being dismissed by the New Jersey Special Civil Part after filing and before or after trial because of procedural deficiencies.  

·         it is not uncommon for judges to get very frustrated by an unrepresented party’s lack of preparation or ignorance of the facts or law of the New Jersey Special Civil Part case. 

·         a court has the power to punish unprepared parties, such as by throwing their case out of court or limiting what they can present at the New Jersey Special Civil Part trial. 

·         New Jersey has many published cases, laws, regulations, court rules and rules of evidence that can be very tricky to understand and that can be used to prevent you from doing much of what you want to do at the New Jersey Special Civil Part trial. 

·         it is very common for courts to refuse to allow a party to use or refer to documents or items at the New Jersey Special Civil Part trial that the person themselves never prepared.  Often parties stumble into New Jersey Special Civil Part with a video, photograph, bill or affidavit or other form of written statement, thinking they are going to use it as proof that they lost money or that they are not responsible for someone else’s damages, only to have a judge tell the parties that it is not going to even consider such items or documents. 

·         without the proper preparation, items and documents may never be considered by the New Jersey Special Civil Part.  Also, if there are any legal issues to be dealt with at the New Jersey Special Civil Part trial, you must be prepared to argue them, which may require you to refer to court rules, evidence rules, laws, regulations or published cases. 

·         you cannot show up at the New Jersey Special Civil Part expecting the judge hearing your case to explain court rules, evidence rules, court procedure or the details of the law that applies to your case.  The judge hearing your case is not permitted to give you legal advice.

It is important to remember that even if you have an attorney, you could lose your case.  Hiring an attorney to handle part or all of your case does not guarantee your success.  However, it may provide what is needed to win your case or to avoid certain mistakes.
