The court will be opening in a limited capacity for Arraignments, Conferences and Trials ONLY starting on July 22, 2021.
Due to the ongoing issues with the Coronavirus pandemic, the number of cases that can be heard during each court session will be reduced in order to ensure that all Covid-19 safety protocols are enforced.
No one will be allowed to enter the building without wearing a mask, please do not arrive more than 15 minutes prior to your scheduled court time, you will need your ticket and/or conference letter, you will be required to sign in before entering the Court and you must wait in your car to be called by the Prosecutor after signing in. Social distancing must be maintained by all members of the public.

In an effort to ensure cases are adjudicated as soon as possible you still have the option for a Plea Offer by Mail.

If you do not wish to participate, you will be notified by the Court of your next court date as soon as it can be scheduled.
If you would like to take part in such a negotiation process to reach a possible disposition of your matter at this time, please contact the Village Court Clerk, Sharon Moses, either by phone at (516) 671-4664 Ex. 3, or by email at: courtclerk@oldbrookville.net, you must provide your ticket and contact information. The Village Prosecutor will then contact you as soon as possible to negotiate a possible settlement, subject to Court approval.
If you have any questions at all regarding court dates, postponements of a court date or if you wish to pay a fine or have any other questions, please call or email the Court Clerk.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
