KNOWLEDGE
IS POWER
The
more you know about the speeding ticket process, the better prepared you will be for the speeding ticket experience. Here is some basic information about the court.
The
clerk of the court is Naomi Cooper.
The primary function of the clerk is to assist in the court’s day to day
functioning. This includes but is not
limited to collecting fine money, answering questions over the phone, and
sending out letters to litigants.
The
court is located at 3797 Main Street in Warrensburg, NY 12885. The court can be reached by both telephone
and fax. Their telephone number is
518-623-9776 and their fax number is 518-623-4367.
The
clerk maintains office hours from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm from Monday through
Friday. Court is in session every
Wednesday at 9:00 am and at times deemed necessary for justice. This may include an emergency
arraignment or hardship hearing.
The
court employs two part time judges which are elected to a four year term. These judges must re-run upon the
expiration of their term. These
judges are responsible for upholding the laws of New York and the US Constitution. Within their jurisdictional boundaries
includes all misdemeanor matters, some felony procedures, civil cases involving
$3,000.00 or less in controversy, and non-felony traffic tickets. The majority of the traffic tickets
heard in this court are speeding tickets, move over law violations, cell phone
violations, driving with a suspended license, and DWI.
GOING
TO TRIAL ON A SPEEDING TICKET
Beating
a speeding ticket at trial is not impossible, but it is improbable. While every case is different and needs
to be evaluated on its own merits, for the most part, beating a ticket can be
very challenging.
In
my experience handling hundreds of speeding tickets, I find the biggest
challenge for a driver to be the cross examination of an experienced traffic
officer.
The
majority of tickets in Warrensburg are written by the NYS Police (i.e., a
Trooper). These officers are
highly trained police officers with many trials under their belt. It is unlikely that your ticket will be
their first trial. As such, there
will be very little that the officer has not seen or heard on
cross-examination. After numerous
times testifying, they process of testifying at a speeding ticket trial almost
appears to be routine.
This
is not to say that a driver should give up all hope on their ticket. I am just saying a traffic trial is not
as easy as it may appear.
RESOLVING
A TRAFFIC TICKET
Sometimes
the old saying is true, “You can get more with sugar than you do with salt.” Implementing this approach means that presenting
credible mitigating circumstances may further reduce your exposure to fines,
penalties, and insurance increases.
Our attorneys are familiar with very strong and compelling strategies to
help reduce driver’s exposure to fines, points, and insurance increases. If you are interested in fighting your
