Cohocton Town Court — Local services in Town of Cohocton

The court has terrible hours, and no one answers phone calls, returns phone calls or replies to emails. The court is a disorderly mess. I went in for a speeding ticket and was essentially given the shaft. I watched two white men before me go in for DUIs and get let off with community service so it wouldn't mess up their scholarship opportunities. At this point I thought that this judge is a reasonable judge , only to go up myself and he says to me "Well some courts will reduce this below _ amount, but not this court." I guess this court favors people of paler skin tone. I have tried several times to get in contact with them to pay my ticket but can never get in contact with them, now I get a letter in the mail stating my license is suspended for not paying my ticket! They completely skipped past the warning or anything and went straight to suspension, how am I supposed to do my job as a delivery driver with a suspended license? That's right I can't this...

I received a ticket from this court for speeding while taking my mom to the only doctor that will help with her medical condition that at the time was in Baltimore. People around me were going 2-3 times faster around me but because of covid I still had my out of state plates due to DMV being closed, guess I was an easy target because of that. I mailed in my response and never heard anything for two weeks. Called and said they never received it. So emailed them the same answer and due to covid haven’t heard anything again until a week ago. They threatened to suspend my DL that I need for work since I never responded. I called and new lady was working and said that happened more than we think. So emailed a new plea and had to pay ticket and fee. This town is terrible and is only in it for the money. Will avoid this town...

This is the worst town to ever have a ticket in. They don’t ever answer the phone and have weird minimal hours of availability anyway. If you plead not guilty you are forced to register for 2 different programs that buffer FOREVER and half the time never load. They originally put my not guilty in as guilty and I had to email for it to be corrected bc I never got to anyone over the phone. I have to pay to send in my driving abstract from nys website which is more buffering and not loading. This is ridiculous I would never step foot in this miserable forsaken place let alone spend a dollar here. Disgusting and clearly intended to bully/annoy into guilty pleas. They are trying to suspend my DL only reason I would even entertain...
