Nassau County is one of the richest counties in the United States. The Family Court in Nassau County is located at 1200 Old Country Road, Westbury, New York 11590. The judges, court officers, administrators, clerks, attorneys and litigants are all presented with difficult situations.
The courthouse is totally inadequate to serve as a location for the Family Court of Nassau County. The building is old, dilapidated and too small. The air conditioning does not cool the hallways.
There is no adequate waiting room. Lawyers and their clients are often forced to wait in crowded hallways. God knows what would happen in this overcrowded building should there be a fire. During the past fifteen (15) years, Suffolk County, Kings County and Queens County have built beautiful new court facilities. Unfortunately, Nassau County has not had the foresight to provide its residents with a decent, adequate, modern facility. This is an embarrassment! The building structure is not worthy of the litigants, judges, clerks, court officers and the community it serves.
