Brookhaven Municipal Court Opens on Friday

The Brookhaven Municipal Court will hold its first session April 19 at 2 Corporate Boulevard, Suite 125 in Brookhaven. Court will start promptly at 1 p.m. 

The city court has jurisdiction over ordinance violations and state misdemeanors, including traffic violations. 

Chief Judge Laura E. Stevenson will preside over the municipal court. Stevenson runs her own legal practice, specializing in commercial disputes, employment, consumer credit and civil rights. She previously served as a magistrate court judge in Cobb County. 

Jonathan R. Granade, an attorney with Casey Gilson P.C., will serve as judge pro tem.

City Clerk Susan Hiott is serving as court administrator.

Arraignments will be held each Tuesday and Friday at 1 p.m. Trials will be scheduled on the third Wednesday of each month.

The city anticipates bringing in about $800,000 in revenue from court operations. However, that number may increase after the city police department begins operations this summer.

Defendants may pay their citations online at www.brookhavenga.gov/court.html or at the court window, which will be open 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
