Can you help with appeals to County Court from town, village, city, and justice courts?

Back to Frequently Asked Questions

If you were sentenced in a town, village, justice, or city court, your appeal will be heard before county court, not the Appellate Division.

These types of appeals are considered “local court appeals.” Our office assists clients with local court appeals on assignment from county courts in Cattaraugus, Genesee, Ontario, and Orleans counties. Our office does not accept local court appeals that are heard before Erie County Court.
