Whether you’re charged with speeding, failing to stop at a red light or driving while under the influence, our New York Traffic Ticket Lawyer can help you avoid costly fines, insurance rate increases and in severe cases, license suspension. Depending on the circumstances, a ticket can carry serious financial penalties and even impact your job security if you’re a professional driver or have employer-provided auto coverage.
Many people pay their tickets without examining the fines and consequences of the conviction. However, there are many benefits to hiring a NYC traffic defense attorney.
New York Traffic Ticket Lawyer: How They Can Help You
A seasoned lawyer can quickly identify any errors by the police officer such as inconsistencies with radar readings or failure to follow proper procedure. This can undermine the strength of the prosecution’s case and increase your chances of having your ticket dismissed or charges reduced.
In addition to fines, most traffic offenses in New York carry a risk of points on your record. Accumulating too many points can lead to higher insurance premiums and at 11 points, your driver’s license could be suspended. In addition to fines, you’ll also have to pay a Driver Responsibility Assessment of $300 per year for three years if you get six or more points on your record.
The NYC traffic violation attorneys at Mafrici Law Office have successfully represented thousands of clients in Long Island, the Five Boroughs and throughout New York State. We can analyze the details of your case and fight to keep your driving privileges and points off your record.
