Text Message Court Admissibility

Summary

In New York, making text messages inadmissible in court involves avoiding admissions of guilt, using hypothetical language, and labeling discussions as settlement talks. If facing eviction, consider discussing property purchase options with the landlord as a settlement. Town courts in New York do not handle appeals; appeals must be filed in County Court. Legal aid organizations can provide assistance in negotiating and understanding rights.
