TOWN
OF WALLKILL COURTS …………(845) 692-7822
Justice
Joseph Owen and Justice Patrick S. Owen are the duly elected
Wallkill Town Justices. The Judgeship is a part-time position
and, under the New York State Constitution, both attorneys
and non-attorneys are eligible once they have been certified
by NYS Office of Court Administration. Additionally, each
Justice
is required to take a twelve-hour training course each year
to maintain their certification.
Due
to its location and population, the Wallkill Justice has
one of the highest volumes of cases in the state, ranging
from traffic infractions to misdemeanors under the Penal
Law and other
statutes.
The Court also has civil jurisdiction including small claims
with a monetary limit of $3000.00. Currently four Court sessions
are held each week and the Court can be reached at (845)
692-7822, or by email wmichaels@townofwallkill.com
