What Is a Village Court in New York?
Village courts (also known as local or justice courts) handle a wide range of lower-level cases, including:
-
Misdemeanors
-
Violations and infractions
-
Traffic tickets and moving violations
-
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
-
Criminal summonses and desk appearance tickets
-
Local ordinance and code violations
Each village court has its own procedures, schedule, and personalities. Having a skilled village court attorney who knows the local system is essential to getting a fair result.
