What Happens at Queens Summons Court
Queens summons matters are heard in the main Queens Criminal Court building at 125-01 Queens Boulevard, Kew Gardens, NY 11415 — even though many tickets print 120-55 Queens Boulevard as the return address. Pink summonses in Queens are now heard in the regular court parts, and many are referred to a Judicial Hearing Officer for resolution. You will typically be asked to consent to having a Judicial Hearing Officer hear the matter — but you have the right to have it heard by a Criminal Court judge instead. An attorney who knows the building and the process can guide that choice and push the case toward the best outcome.
We file your Notice of Appearance, appear on your behalf, and negotiate the matter to a resolution. Most personal summons matters in Queens are resolved in one appearance.

Non-Citizens in Queens
Queens is one of the most diverse counties in the United States, home to a very large non-citizen population. 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 Queens summons matters where immigration consequences are the primary concern.
Missed Your Queens Court Date?
If you missed your court date in Kew Gardens and a bench warrant was issued, contact us immediately. The court's official guidance says a warrant can only be vacated by a defendant's appearance before a judge. In practice, on summons cases, some judges will vacate the warrant with only your lawyer present, and some will insist on seeing you. If it's possible to get it done without you being there, we will get it done. Do not wait.
