Comments	Colonie Town Court is extremely busy. Expect to be there for 2-3 hours. There are two courtrooms and you need to make sure you know which one is for your case. Some fines must be paid at the time of the plea, or the Court will not accept the plea deal. Attorneys can generally get their clients 2-4 weeks to pay fines, and can negotiate traffic tickets with the Town Attorney by mail. The judges will sometimes reject a plea deal on speeding tickets, especially Judge Crummey and to a lesser extent Judge Sommers. They usually have a good reason. Colonie Town Court also happens to be one of the top town courts in the state in revenue, perhaps a dubious distinction.
About the area	Colonie is one of the most populated municipalities in the Capital Region of New York State, with about 90,000 residents. The town has a strong commercial economic base. Major highways in Colonie include I-87 (the Northway), Route 5 (Central Avenue), Route 9 (Loudon Road) and Route 7 (Troy-Schenectady Road). Also quite a nice place to live, with some pricey real estate in places like Loudonville. The town has a rather large population, rivalling the City of Albany with both over 90,000 people.
Hours of Operation	Seems like this court is always in session. Clerks generally available 8:30 to 4 in the office and until 4:30 by phone.
Judges	Hon. Susan Tatro, Hon. Peter G. Crummey, and Hon. Andrew Sommers. All are good judges. Crummey can be particularly lively and has a sense of humor.
Prosecutors	Criminal matters, including DWI, are prosecuted by the Albany District Attorney. Anthony Cardona is one of the ADAs, and a there is an ADA named Molly Maguilli, but the DAs office moves people around so the names and faces may change. The DA generally negotiates only with lawyers. Colonie traffic court cases are prosecuted by Assistant Town Attorneys, who changed recently due to a partisan changeover.
Type Of Cases	Speeding tickets (especially on the Northway), other traffic tickets, and criminal matters including DWI and AUO. Also a lot of marijuana and gun cases from the Airport.
