Court Clerk: The role of the court clerk is to help the Judge with their duties. Sometimes the court clerk will send out letters to litigants, collect fines, and help answer day-to-day question.

Sign-in: Upon your arrival to the court, be sure to notify the court clerk that you are present for your court date. Failure to do so can result in your case not being called.

Security: Please remember that the court is a secure place; as such you will be asked to walk through a magnetometer. Turn off all electronic devices and leave all food and drinks outside the court.

Junior License: If you possess a junior license, please be careful in handling your traffic matter. New York State has stringent guidelines for our young drivers.

If Found Guilty: If you are found guilty of speeding, there are many different ways in which it may affect you. This can include but is not limited to fines payable to the court, penalties payable to the Department of Motor Vehicles, insurance increases, and incarceration.

There are many different police agencies who have the authority to issue a traffic ticket. Some of these agencies include but are not limited to, the State Police, Park Police, Sheriff’s Office, and Town/Village Police.

New York State Police use a Uniform Traffic Ticket, also known as a “UTT”. The UTT provides a lot of important information; such as the date and place of the occurrence, what you are charged with, the officer’s name, and instructions on how to enter your plea.

Tickets often carry a potential to cost hundreds in fines, penalties, hassle, and insurance increases. Currently, a guilty plea to a 86/55 mph could cost driver close to $700.00 in fines, an additional $450.00 in penalties, and insurance increases. Given the right additional set of facts and circumstances, there is potential to receive the more serious penalties of a suspended license and being sent to jail.
