Suffolk County District Court \u2013 Islip<\/h1>\n

\"Suffolk<\/p>\n

Each city, town, village, and hamlet on Long Island either has a local court or shares a court with a larger town nearby. But what happens if you break the law outside the city limits? These cases are common and fall under the jurisdiction of the county in which the alleged offense took place. As a Suffolk and Nassau County attorney<\/a>, I’ve spent much of my time in both county courthouses, but especially the busy Suffolk County District Court in Central Islip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This court, for all practical purposes, functions like your town court, except that it has original jurisdiction over all criminal and civil matters that take place in the county, outside of any town or city limits. The Islip Courthouse is just one of 6 different locations for the Suffolk County District Court, but it is the only one that handles traffic and criminal matters. This means that if you’ve been charged with any kind of crime or traffic violation<\/a>, you case will start here.<\/p>\n

Location:<\/h2>\n

The Suffolk County District Court is part of the 10th Judicial District and spans 5 cities in Western Suffolk County. The Islip location is located in the Cohalan Court Complex at:<\/p>\n
