About the court:
Westfield Town Court is known as a court of local jurisdiction. It has the power to hear criminal,
civil, and traffic cases. Criminal
cases are largely limited to misdemeanor matters. Civil cases are largely limited to small claims cases or
cases involving $3,000.00 or less in controversy. Traffic cases are usually issued under the Vehicle Traffic
Law and limited to non-felony cases.
Who prosecutes traffic tickets in Westfield?
New York State Troopers are not allowed to conference
traffic tickets. As such, tickets
issued by the State Police are conferenced with the District Attorney’s
Office.
What is a Westfield Town Court pre-trial traffic conference?
The pre-trial conference is an opportunity for the defendant
or their attorney to meet and attempt to work out a resolution without having a
trial. While formal testimony and
evidence is not submitted to the court, exhibits can be submitted to the
prosecutor for review. Every
prosecutor will view pre-trial exhibits in a different light. Some prosecutors will consider the
exhibits while others will dismiss them.
Does a driver really have 48 hours to return the ticket?
Yes.
Technically, upon issuance, a driver has 48 hours to respond to the
ticket with a plea of guilty or not guilty. We recommend that anyone issued a ticket enters their plea
with some form of return receipt requested.
If I plead guilty by mail, how much would I have to pay in
fines?
Fines for tickets issued by the New York State police are
not written on the ticket. The
fine for a moving violations are set by the judge. The fine can vary depending on the facts and circumstances
of the cases. As such, if a guilty
plea is entered by mail, the court will send a fine notice with time to pay in
the mail.
