COMMON TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS A NEW YORK TRAFFIC TICKET LAWYER CAN HELP YOU FIGHT

Failure To Yield To A Pedestrian Ticket

A lack of clarity regarding what NY considers "yielding to pedestrians" often leads to overly aggressive enforcement. Enforcement officers' discretion may result in errors, issuing tickets with 3 points and hefty fines.

Stop Sign
Tickets

Whether you fly past the sign or slowly roll through, a stop sign violation incurs significant penalties with a wide range of fines depending on the circumstances and 3 points added to your license.

Disobey Traffic Control Device In New York

A traffic control device violation in New York carries 2 points, slightly lower than other infractions. Yet, the penalties remain significant, underscoring the importance of seeking legal counsel to fight or avoid them.

Red Light
Tickets

Not addressing a red light ticket promptly leads to driving privilege suspension. This includes failure to respond, attend hearings, or pay fines on time.

Speeding
Tickets

A speeding ticket brings financial penalties, points, and higher insurance rates, and risks job security for professional drivers or those insured by their employers.

Unsafe Lane
Change Tickets

Unsafe lane change carries 3 points, more than failing to signal 2. It's often issued alongside other charges like speeding.

Cell Phone
Ticket

A cell phone / portable electronic device ticket in NY carries 5 points and a range of fines depending on the location and circumstances. Simply touching the phone while in motion is often enough for an officer to write a ticket.

Driver License Suspensions & Revocations

If suspended, your license can be taken for a period or indefinitely until you take action. Revocation means permanent cancellation; to reapply, wait for the revocation period to end and apply to the DMV.

HAVE QUESTIONS? LOOK HERE

Do I 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.

What are the consequences of ignoring a traffic ticket in NY?

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.

Should I fight my 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.

What locations does Feifer & Greenberg service?

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.

Can I get a New York traffic ticket dismissed in NY?

Any attorney can try to get every single ticket completely dismissed, but in some cases, that might not necessarily be the most prudent decision. In NYC, yes–every case is fought via a small hearing where the outcome is either win or lose, dismiss (not guilty) or guilty.

 

We get many tickets dismissed via these hearings every day and that will always be our goal. However, there are other courts throughout the state where negotiation is encouraged. In these cases, we may pursue a plea-bargained lesser violation where just a fine is due.

 

This may not be technically a dismissal but may be the more favorable move. If your license remains clean and you end up spending less money and taking less risk than you would pursuing a complete dismissal, paying a fine is not a huge loss.

 

All of this is discussed during consultation. We review options and share what we think may be the best way for the individual client to proceed.

What are the benefits of fighting a New York traffic ticket?

To understand the potential benefits, all you have to do is look at the potential consequences of a conviction. Fighting helps avoid points on the license, increased insurance, fines, assessments, potential loss of driving privileges, and potential employment issues.

Do I need to show up in court?

In most cases, if you have an attorney, you’ll never need to go to court. If you are fighting the ticket on your own, you’ll almost always need to be there. While a few courts may give you some option of dealing with the ticket without showing up, those options generally aren’t as effective as appearing in person and confronting the officer or talking to the prosecutor.

If you are just looking to pay a ticket and plead guilty, most courts will allow you to do this by mail or internet.

If the court won’t allow this, it is probably because you are facing a charge or penalty that is more serious than you anticipated. If you are told to appear in person just to plead guilty to a charge, you should seriously consider consulting an New York traffic ticket lawyer first to make sure you aren’t walking into a difficult situation.

Do you guarantee that we’ll win?

Unfortunately, no. It’s impossible to predict the outcome of any case, even the simplest ones. What we can guarantee, however, is that we will always provide the best legal representation we can. We also guarantee to be transparent and keep you informed of our goals, objectives, and steps we plan to take so you’re always in the loop.
