COURT WEBSITE: Monroe Village Court
OVERVIEW: Judge Forrest Strauss takes his job as Village Justice very seriously and pays close attention to the details of each case. If you have not done your homework as an attorney, or come to court unprepared, then you can expect to be questioned closely and encouraged to do better. However, Judge Strauss does reward hard work and obedience to the Court's directives. The takeaway for attorneys and their clients: come to court on time and be prepared. The courthouse is small, and there are always a lot of people there, so do yourself a favor and come early.
ATTORNEY CHARGE FOR COURT: $300 – and you will have to come to court even if you have hired an attorney.
