Most importantly, I’ll explain how I can help you. The cost of fines and increased insurance premiums for speeding violations in New York can be large. The expenses for substitute transportation expensive. You job may depend on your license. I’ve been helping people with traffic cases in Ulster County for 36 years. Don’t pay the ticket until you’ve spoken with a lawyer.

Don’t plead guilty. Use an experienced New York traffic lawyer

• Pre-Trial Negotiations – Before the case begins, I will negotiate with the police officer and sometimes the prosecutor to see if there’s a way to reduce the charges to a lesser offense such as a non-moving violation, to reduce the points, to merge multiple offenses into one offense, or to eliminate the charges altogether. Through my experience trying numerous cases, I know the factual and legal arguments to make that can help persuade the police officer and the prosecutor to reduce or drop the charges. I also know the local Ulster County routes. Sometimes officers can be persuaded poor road conditions or a particular traffic pattern was a factor.

• Trying the Case – If a negotiated deal can’t be reached, the police officer and the prosecutor have the burden of proving their case (beyond a reasonable doubt). They have to show the officer can present proper evidence to back-up the citation, that a law was violated and that the stop was proper. The defense lawyer (me) has the right to question/cross-examine the police officer.

If the defenses are factual, it helps if you appear. Most defense are legal, so you don’t have to appear. As your lawyer, I can assert the legal defenses. The defenses will differ depending on the actual charge, what the police officer/prosecutor can really prove and the facts of the case.

• Your charges will be dismissed (you’re found not guilty) or sent to the NY Department of Motor Vehicles
• You may have to pay a fine, penalty or court costs. If the charges have been reduced, you will have to pay much less. That’s one of my aims (other than having the charge dismissed) — to reduce the consequences
• If you’re found guilty of any charges, those charges may be forwarded to the state or country that issued your license
• Your insurance rates will stay the same or increase, depending on your points and convictions
• Your license may be suspended or revoked

A speeding ticket and other traffic violations can put points on your driver’s license. Too many points can lead to an increase in your insurance premiums and the possible suspension of your license.
