New York Attorney Handling Traffic Tickets, Speeding Tickets
A traffic violation can seriously damage your driving record, affecting your insurance rates and putting you in a position to be penalized more severely the next time. You should contact a lawyer if you are charged with one of the following:
-
Speeding
-
Traffic offenses, such as making an illegal lane change or failing to make a complete stop at a stop sign
-
Reckless driving
-
Driving with a suspended license
-
Drunk driving or DWI/DUI
If you reside in New York or are from Canada or anywhere out of state and have received a traffic ticket while driving through New York, we welcome the opportunity to explain how we can help you pursue the most favorable outcome, despite your distance to the jurisdiction in which you received the traffic violation. Contact us.
Without the assistance of an attorney, you might have to return to New York "just for a traffic ticket." After a client has received a traffic ticket, we are often successful in obtaining positive results by the following:
-
Ticket thrown out for technicalities
-
Charges reduced
Most traffic tickets can be handled by mail, including tickets that you contest for any reason. Whether we need to go to court for you or can conduct your defense by mail, we are confident in our ability to get a better outcome for you than is the case with a ticket to which you plead guilty because you don't have time to fight or appear in Court. You should not plead guilty to a ticket just because it is inconvenient for your to return to New York.
Sometimes what looks like a simple traffic ticket is more complex. We are prepared to address any complexity on your behalf. For example, if you received a traffic ticket for driving without a license, it may be possible for us to challenge the original driver's license suspension and have the traffic ticket resolved altogether that way. If your license was suspended for failure to pay child support, we can work with you and the Child Support Bureau to get your license reinstated.
Discuss your traffic ticket with an experienced traffic attorney. Call the law offices of Elisabeth A. Barker, Attorney at Law.
