Home – Onondaga County District Attorney
The Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office in Syracuse, New York, has received mixed reviews from the community, with some praising the efforts of DA Fitzpatrick and his staff in prosecuting cases effectively. While there are concerns about communication and responsiveness, particularly regarding traffic tickets, many individuals have found success by directly contacting staff members like Assistant DA Kali Benjovsky. Overall, the office demonstrates a commitment to justice, though improvements in customer service and sensitivity towards victims’ experiences are needed.
The best. My home jurisdiction
This office doesn’t seem to care about minorities, men, veterans or people who experience abusive female partners while dealing with a job change and the loss of their mother. It would seem as if they’d rather villify a patriotic African American man with a clean record and invalidate his reasonable concerns. I guess African American men can’t be victims of abuse in their eyes. It doesn’t seem like they don’t know what reactive abuse is and/or they don’t want to know. Disappointed
Received a traffic ticket in upstate NY, we knew the state trooper was in the wrong but he ticketed us anyways. We went on the Salina town court site and learned you can appeal traffic tickets via the Onondoga DA Office after pleading not guilty. On the DA Office website, there’s a traffic ticket reduction request. We promptly filled it out with all necessary documentation. It took a couple of weeks before the DA Office sends you dispositions offering alternatives to your current ticket. The DA Office mistakenly wrote the same disposition for both tickets, so I called to ask for the second disposition. The issue with traffic tickets is they don’t have anyone who can speak to you directly, you have to leave a voicemail. It took another week before the DA Office contacts back, and even then, all they told me was to wait. I repeated this the following week because there wasn’t much time before I had to respond to the ticket. Turns out if you look at the disposition form there’s someone who signs off on it. In this case it was the Assistant DA, Kali Benjovsky. I recommend you name drop whoever is on your disposition, that way the DA Office can get you in contact with them directly. After explaining my situation and providing more documentation, Kali addressed my tickets directly which was really nice. You can also find the DA staff emails on their website, so feel free to contact them directly rather than responding to the generic DA Office email. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about the tickets anymore, so I figured I post this so other people can handle their tickets smoothly!
