Veterans treatment court. The Nassau Veterans Treatment Court is part of the State's Unified Court System, in Nassau County District Court, 99 Main Street, Hempstead, NY 11550; 516-493-4145. The Unified Court System states that its veterans treatment courts accept veterans with all characters of discharge. A case is referred by defence counsel or the court, and the team links the veteran to VA care and a veteran mentor under court supervision.
Traffic tickets. The Nassau County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency's Veterans Court Program meets at 2 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month, with the District Attorney's Office, the District Court, the Veterans Service Agency and veterans' groups. A veteran or active duty member, on showing a DD-214, a VA health card, a veteran ID or a licence with the veteran designation, is given every courtesy to resolve violations or notices of liability, bundled together and if possible in one visit; the outcome depends on how many violations, how old and how serious. The Veterans Service Agency has staff at each session, and the Nassau Suffolk Law Services Veterans Rights Project may give free legal help.
