The City Attorney (prosecuter) is present for all court appearances. If you enter a "Not Guilty" plea, the court will make arrangements for you to discuss your citation with the City Attorney either by phone or in person. The City Attorney does not hold an office at the Franklin Municipal Court and is not available for walk-ins.
If you have missed your scheduled court date/time and still wish to contest your citation, you will need to complete and submit a REQUEST TO REOPEN FORM. The completed form should be submitted via mail, dropped off at the Municipal Court office or emailed to franklincourt@franklinwi.gov. Once received, the Court Clerk will file your request and you will be assigned an IN-PERSON court hearing date. You will typically receive notice of your hearing date via mail.
If you need additional time to pay your forfeiture or need to set up a payment plan, you will need to appear for an Indigency Hearing in the Franklin Municipal Court Office during regular office hours the week your forfeiture is due. The dates to appear will be located on your Notice of Default Judgment, Judgment Summary, or Notice of Intent to Certify Debt paperwork. Extensions of time-to-pay and payment plans are not granted via phone. If you cannot locate this paperwork, contact the Court Clerk directly at 414-425-4768.
