Court Clerk: The court clerk is usually located in the front of the courtroom. It is very important that the court clerk be notified of your attendance. A failure to notify the court clerk may lead to your case not being called.

The Court Clerk assists the Judges and often is the one who sends letters to litigants, collects fines, and helps you answer day-to-day questions. The court clerk at Ulster County can be reached at (845) 382-1737.

Judge: Prior to taking the bench, each judge has taken an oath of office and is sworn to uphold the laws and rules of NY and the United States.

While a plea bargain can be struck between the prosecutor and a defendant, the judge has the ultimate power to accept or reject the proposed disposition. If the court accepts the resolution, a fine will be assessed.

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. Not to mention 6 points on the driver’s license. 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.
