Court Address:
Glenville Town Court
18 Glenridge Road
Glenville, NY 12302

Questions: For day to day questions, you can refer to the court clerk. The court clerk’s role is to aid the Judge with their everyday duties, send out letters to litigants, collect fine monies, and answer any day to day questions you may have.

Sign–in: Once you enter the court, be sure to check in with the court clerk. Failure to notifying the court clerk that you are present could result in your case not being called.

Tip: Drivers must timely respond to a traffic summons to prevent a suspension of their privilege to drive. Once the department of motor vehicles has been notified that a license should be suspended, it can be very difficult to undo the suspension. The process of un-suspending a license can include the payment of a suspension lift fee, the payment of a bond, and an appearance in court.

Suspension: There are several reasons as to why a driver may lose his/her privilege to drive. Some reasons include but are not limited to your failure to pay a court fee, receiving 11 points, or getting two work zone violations.

Please keep in mind, driving with a suspended license is a crime. If you are pulled over, the officer can arrest you and impound your car.

Not Guilty Plea: If a driver enters a plea of not guilty, the court will send them a letter advising them to come to court. At this court appearance, the driver will have an opportunity to present their the strength and weakness of their case. Typically, the first appearance is not a trial date so coming prepared to argue the full case may be moot.

Guilty Plea: Pleading guilty to a speeding ticket can have long-term financial consequences that may cost drivers hundreds in fines, penalties, and insurance increases. A study by a leading insurance company concluded that the national average increase for a speeding conviction is 11% - 15%. In other words, this is the median increase. Some drivers will not receive an increase while others will receive a much larger increase.
