What to Expect
If you have received a traffic ticket returnable at the Cortlandt Town Court, you are probably looking at a court date during the week, as this court sits Monday through Thursday. The process starts when you receive your ticket, which will include instructions on how to respond. For most people, the next step is to decide whether to plead guilty, not guilty, or to seek legal help before responding. If you decide to fight the ticket, you will need to appear in court or have a lawyer appear for you.

How to Prepare Before You Call Us
If you choose to have us represent you, gather all documents related to your traffic ticket.

Make a note of any details about the stop that you remember, where you were, what time it was, what the officer said, and anything else that seems important. Even if it seems minor, sometimes these facts matter. If you were not the driver, or if there was something unusual about the stop, mention it. Bringing us the facts early helps us look for any possible defenses or mistakes on the ticket.
If you have questions about the process or what might happen, write them down and bring them to our first conversation. We want you to feel informed and comfortable with how your case will proceed. You do not need to do anything complicated, just be ready to talk honestly about what happened and what you are hoping to achieve. We will take it from there.
