Brooklyn Pink Summons Lawyer
If your pink summons is a Brooklyn summons, it is most likely returnable to Manhattan/Brooklyn SAP Court at 1 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007 — not to Brooklyn Criminal Court. SummonsPros handles it for a flat $350.
This is one of the most common points of confusion for Brooklyn summons recipients. The pink ticket says "Brooklyn" but the court address is 1 Centre Street in Manhattan. That is correct. Brooklyn summonses in the first instance are heard at the Manhattan/Brooklyn SAP Court at 1 Centre Street. Only matters adjourned for trial are transferred to Brooklyn Criminal Court at 120 Schermerhorn Street.
Brooklyn is home turf. Our lead attorney is a former Kings County District Attorney prosecutor who spent years in Brooklyn courtrooms before opening his private practice. We know this court and this process inside out.
What Happens at Brooklyn Summons Court
Brooklyn summons matters are handled at 1 Centre Street in the first instance. Common Brooklyn summons charges include open container violations in parks and at street events, disorderly conduct, trespass, park after dark violations, public urination, and bicycle on sidewalk violations in high-density neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Bushwick, and Crown Heights.
We file your Notice of Appearance, appear at 1 Centre Street on your behalf, and negotiate with the assigned ADA. Most personal summons matters resolve at the first appearance — without ever going to Schermerhorn Street.
$350 Flat Fee — No Surprises

Non-Citizens in Brooklyn
Brooklyn has one of the most diverse populations in the country. If you are not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and you received a pink summons, do not handle this yourself. A conviction — even for a minor offense — can affect your immigration status, green card application, or visa. We have specific experience handling Brooklyn summons matters where immigration consequences are the primary concern.
