Need a New York Traffic Ticket Lawyer?

While no traffic court will force you to have a lawyer for a typical violation, an attorney can be quite beneficial. Just an initial consultation with an attorney may alert you to certain potential problems or surcharges that you wouldn’t otherwise have known existed.

Once you understand the potential consequences of the ticket, hiring a lawyer would be a decision based on those consequences plus other factors such as your job, your location relative to the court, your prior driving history, the reputation of the particular court, etc.

The bottom line is hiring an attorney often is a relatively modest investment that will allow you to avoid going to court in most cases. Being fully prepared for any potential consequences gives you the best possible chance of a successful outcome in your case.

There are a few tickets that you may not need an New York traffic ticket lawyer for (certain minor, no point violations). Any lawyer you consult with should let you know if that’s the case with your ticket.

Ignoring your traffic ticket is always going to be the wrong decision to make regarding your summons. If you don’t pay the ticket or show up in court, you could end up suspended in New York (or your home state), end up with a warrant issued, end up with credit problems, problems renting a car, etc.

When you try to eventually fix the situation, it will take longer and be more expensive. It’s just not the right way to deal with a ticket.

We never want to see anyone accept a conviction without fighting back somehow, especially if that person feels the ticket wasn’t fairly issued. Ultimately, the decision to fight comes down to an analysis of the potential penalties, the chances of avoiding or lessening said penalties, and the time and/or monetary cost involved with fighting the ticket.

While our main offices are in New York City, we service all of New York State. We have a statewide network of in-house and of counsel attorneys who can take on your case, whether you’re ticketed in Manhattan or on the Canadian border.

This network has allowed us to compile a database containing information, results, and general knowledge on practically every single court in New York. It allows us to give more accurate consults regarding our goals and chances of success. Plus, it allows us to keep our low, flat fees uniform throughout the state, regardless of where a case may be.
