Stony Point and NY traffic ticket Tips and Tidbits

What do you then? Well, you have two options, you can contact that NY traffic court and ask them, or, you can contact us and we'll take a look at the ticket and let you know 1) what you are facing as far as motor vehicle points and fines and possible suspension and driver responsibility assessments, etc. 2) what our fee would be to represent you; and 3) what we can accomplish for you.

Anyhow, getting back to the subject of traffic tickets in Dutchess County, Ulster, Putnam Counties New York, the most popular courts in that county are in and around Highway 17 and the New York Thruway, such as Wallkill Town Court, Tuxedo Town Court, Newburgh Town Court, Chester Town Court, Goshen Town Court, Woodbury Town Court. Thankfully, the American Legal system has something called plea bargaining.

A plea bargain allows defendants in traffic ticket and criminal cases to avoid the risk of conviction at trial on the original more serious charge, points, fines, surcharges, suspension and even jail time. For example, a defendant in Suffolk County or Nassau County court charged with a 6 point speeding ticket, and the prosecutor may let the motorist plead to a 2 point (or a no point violation sometimes, and if you have me, more often than not in many cases in Onondaga or Broome County) violation which has less implications for insurance and fines, etc.

Plea bargaining can present a dilemma to some defense attorneys (but not for me), in that they must choose between vigorously seeking a good deal for their present client, or maintaining a good relationship with the prosecutor, for the sake of helping future clients. However, for me, I only care about one person in this equation: YOU, the client! I want you to be happy, to write me a testimonial (see my testimonials here: New York Speeding Ticket Defense Testimonials)

There is an expression I use from the "old country": "Don't be right, be smart!" Sometimes people insist that they are not guilty and they want to have a trial. I tell them that they might be right, but who is the judge going to believe, the cop or the motorist? Usually it does not pay to have a trial which is risky and likely in traffic courts to end in conviction. Rather, I usually plea bargain the cases to get the points and fines reduced or eliminated.

Of course, I cannot guarantee the results, that would be unethical for me as an attorney. But I can guarantee that if you hire me, you will get one of the most aggressive traffic and criminal defense attorneys in Wyoming or Orange County, New York!

The process works like this: Once you hire me, and provide a copy of the ticket(s), I usually can contact the court and handle all the details through email. You don't need to show up to court in most cases in Columbia or Albany traffic ticket cases, and you don't even have to show up to my office. After I resolve the matter, I email you the payment instructions if there is money to be paid, and that is it, you are on your merry way! I make the process as painless as possible, and have done so for more than 17,000 tickets as of November 2015.
