Traffic Violations

When you retain us for traffic court, we'll handle your tickets, evaluate your complete department of motor vehicle history, and recommend the best way to resolve your pending tickets. Additionally, we can help you obtain a new license or restore your privileges to drive on your old one.

For most traffic infractions, we're able to appear in court without you and resolve the matter so that you don't even have to take off of work. Contact us today at either of our locations in Long Beach or Mineola, NY, for more information or to discuss your needs.

Additionally, the DMV has become more aggressive in governing drivers licenses. For example, certain offenses such as DWI, passing a school bus, or leaving the scene of an accident can result in the suspension or revocation of your license.

The DMV can also review and suspend persons convicted of six-point offenses and impose suspensions on those whose records they deem unsatisfactory. If you're convicted of driving with no insurance card in your car, the court may fine you as little as $100. However, after a "no insurance" conviction, the DMV will assess a $1,000 civil penalty and revoke your license.

Driving with a suspended license is now a misdemeanor that carries the possibility of incarceration. Young drivers who are still in their probationary license period will be suspended if they accumulate two moving violations.

As if all these penalties aren't enough, the DMV has also instituted the Driver Responsibility Act (New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law Sections 1199 and 503 (4)) which allows the DMV to fine motorists who accumulate six points in 18 months with a civil penalty of $100 per year for three years.

This penalty increases by $25 per year for each point above six that you've accumulated. Call us today at 516-432-9229 for more information or to discuss your situation. Our dedicated attorneys are here to help you.
