There is an Assistant  District Attorney (“ADA”) who will be in court, but not on the day that is written on your ticket. If you want to speak with an ADA about your ticket, you should complete the back of the ticket and enter a plea of “not guilty” and return the ticket to the Perinton Town Court, 1350 Turk Hill Rd., Fairport, NY  14450. When your plea of not guilty is received by the Court, the date on the ticket will be adjourned and you will be notified of your new court date. When you appear on that  new court date, you will have the opportunity to speak with the ADA about your ticket. The ADA may offer one of the following dispositions and recommendations to the Court:    
may offer to reduce the charge against you, subject to the Court’s approval;
may not offer to reduce the charge;
may offer to dismiss the charge, subject to the Court’s approval;    
On the day you speak with the ADA, you will thereafter appear before a Judge. You will have an opportunity at that time to accept one of the above dispositions, if offered, or have a trial before the Judge assigned to your case. If you want a trial, you will be given a new date for the trial.
