COMMENTS
Athens has finally caught up on security, with a new metal detector. And they won't let you bring your cell phone in the courtroom - not even lawyers.<br>Warm court in older structure. Important detail here is that the judges will generally not dismiss a ticket if the Trooper doesn't show up, so you should make the best deal you can. Troopers seem to write a lot of tickets for Athens Town Court. Volume of speeding tickets is astonishing considering the population.
ABOUT THE AREA
The court itself is near the Hudson River, and there is a nice park nearby. The town includes a stretch of the New York State Thruway (I-87). It's not that long, but there's a U-turn the Troopers like to use. The Court is a bit of a drive from the nearest exits.
JUDGES
Hon. James H. Robinson, Jr., and Hon. Constance Pazin. Robinson is new. Judge Pazin has been there awhile and is quite thoughtful. Judge Kerr retired after distinguished service.
PROSECUTORS
The Greene County DA is responsible for criminal matters and has taken over negotiations of traffic cases in Athens Town Court.
TYPE OF CASES
Lots of Thruway speeding tickets. Handles other matters common to town courts.
