Lawyerin' in Ithaca Town Court


This is my Town Justice Court series.  Here's the info for Ithaca Town Court (where I spend a lot of my time)

Town Court can be very busy --and so it can take alot of time.  Both Judges have very busy courts because this Court handles everything that happens up at Ithaca College.

The clerks, Penny and Shannon, are both excellent and very helpful.  If you have an issue with payment etc, it is in your best interest to call them BEFORE IT'S DUE and explain your situation...they often give extensions to help people out.  Only if you act responsibly.

People often mistake Town Court with Tompkins County Court--because they are both on the same street. HOWEVER, Town Court is held in the Ithaca TOWN HALL BUILDING --Pictured above.  Don't go to the wrong place.
