Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York

Re: Speeding ticket in NY State

Whether it is a relative or a new client, I always suggest getting an attorney to aid in the process of working with the local DA and justice court to come up with a successful resolution. That always seems to get the best result. Either way, you should contact the local justice court where you will need to appear and ask them what steps are needed. Most courts have specific instructions, i.e. forwarding a copy of the ticket, an abstract of your driving record, etc. Once they tell you what to provide, I would then write a letter enclosing those documents, and then explain as you did in your question the circumstances of your ticket � emphasizing the flow of traffic, no accident, etc. That always helps.

If you would like any additional assistance, our firm handles these tickets in all 62 counties of New York State and would welcome to discuss this further with you. Don�t hesitate to ask.

Thanks for the question.

Re: Speeding ticket in NY State

Pleading not guilty and requesting a hearing is always recommended. Whether the police officer doesn't appear or appears but is willing to reduce the speed to change the type of offense, the driver can benefit by having a hearing.

Hiring an experienced traffic attoreny in the area that undersands the use of radar, its accuracy, and the certifications required to use it properly is vital to not only trying to win, but to keep your insuarnce premiums lower for years to come. PAyign a little today may save you two or three times in the future.

This is a 6-point ticket which can raise your insurance and result in about $400 to $500 in fines (which includes the Driver Assessment Fee). We can likely get this reduced for you to save the $300 Driver Assessment Fee, avoid an insurance hike and reduce points. Our goal is to make fighting this case as easy and un-complicated as possible. In fact, you will not have to even go to court. Feel free to call me or email with any questions. Thanks Matt
