Bronx TVB, NY Traffic Ticket and Criminal Defense Lawyer

As of January 2018, I have handled over 23,000 traffic tickets and criminal matters in the state of New York and New Jersey, including several hundred in  Bronx TVB traffic court alone.  In the TVB there is no plea bargaining, it is win or lose all or nothing.  Here is the way it works in the TVB. In the TVB, there is no plea-bargaining, it is win or lose, all or nothing. Therefore it doesn't work like a normal "court." Here is how it works, and this is our approach:

 1)    We show up first time, if cop is no show, we ask for dismissal, which they usually don't agree to.

     a.     If we show up 2nd time and cop is also no show, then they usually dismiss

     b.     If we then show up 2nd time and cop shows up, we ask for new court date

2)    If we show up first time and cop is there, we ask for new date, which they usually agree to.

     a.     Then if we show up 2nd time and cop is not there, we ask for dismissal, which they usually don't agree to

     b.     If cop shows up 2nd time, we can usually get a new court date by posting a $40 refundable bail

3)    Finally it comes to either:

     a.     Cop doesn't show and ticket is dismissed

     b.     Cop does show and there is a trial

            i.     If cop loses his notes and shows up without then, then we win
           ii.     If cop makes mistakes or contradicts himself, then we win.
          iii.     If cop testifies perfectly, and has his notes, even if he is not 100% accurate or remembers everything the way they really happened, then it is tough win at a verdict.

Note: your prior record, whether clean or not, is not used as a basis to determine guilty or innocence at trial.  Also, your side of the story is usually not the basis to beat the ticket(s) in the Traffic Violations Bureau.
