What if You Want to Transfer Your Case?
In some instances, it might be a good idea to transfer your case out of the Bexley Mayor’s Court. It is not a court of record, and they can’t hold jury trials there, so you have the opportunity to transfer your case to the Franklin County Municipal Court. This is probably not the type of decision you want to make on your own. Instead, you may want to speak with an attorney about the pros and cons of transferring your case. You can also appeal your case to the Municipal Court in the event of an unfavorable outcome in the Mayor’s Court.
