The Staten Island Criminal Court handles a wide variety of criminal matters; everything from misdemeanor, felony or even a violation. The various types of crimes can include DWI to Sex Crime to Reckless Driving or even Murder cases. This Court will handle misdemeanor matters from Arraignment to trial and sentencing. Felony cases are handled in the Criminal Court up to the indictment phase and then are moved on to the Supreme Court. If you have been arrested or received a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT), you may be unclear on what to do next. This page will set out the basic New York Criminal Court information you will need in terms of the court address, hours and directions.
