Warren County is in the 4th Judicial District. Most traffic tickets go to the town court where the violation happened.

Warren County gets a lot of seasonal traffic. Summer tourism around Lake George and winter skiing in the Adirondacks bring in visitors who may not know the local speed limits and road rules. This means the town courts see a spike in traffic cases during peak seasons. If you got a ticket while visiting, you still need to respond to the court listed on your ticket -- even if you live far away.
The NYS Courts page for Warren County has a full list of courts, judges, and contact information.
Note: Warren County courts see more traffic cases in summer and winter due to tourism -- plan for longer wait times during peak seasons.

For town court traffic records, call the specific court. Provide your name or ticket number. Most clerks can pull up your case and tell you the status, fine amount, and next court date. Copy fees are standard -- about $0.25 to $0.65 per page for regular copies and $5 for certified copies.
Plea Deals in Warren County
Plea bargaining is available in Warren County traffic courts. This lets you negotiate with the district attorney or prosecutor before your case goes to the judge. A lot of drivers get their charges reduced this way. A 4-point speeding ticket could become a 0-point parking violation. That saves you the fine difference, the state surcharge, insurance rate hikes, and any Driver Responsibility Assessment fees from the DMV.
You can negotiate yourself or hire a traffic lawyer. If you live out of the area -- which many people do since Warren County draws tourists -- a local lawyer can appear on your behalf so you do not need to make the trip back. This is common practice in the area. Check your point status at the MyDMV portal before deciding how to handle your case.
