Save Points on Your License

By fighting your ticket, you hopefully can save points, minimize fines and other fees, avoid a suspension or revocation and keep your automobile insurance rates from rising. On the other hand, if you simply put a check in the mail with your traffic ticket you are pleading guilty to the offense that you are charged with. Many people fail to realize that by pleading guilty, you give up your right to a trial, automatically pay fines, take on points to your license, and pay higher insurance rates. Over time, even minor offenses can result in unforeseen consequences.

Some Traffic Tickets Can Result In An Automatic Suspension of Your License

Most traffic tickets handed out by the police are infractions, or unclassified misdemeanors carrying points and a fine. However, if you accumulate 11 points or more on your driver's license in an 18-month period you will automatically lose your driving privileges! In addition, pleading guilty to driving without insurance or being found guilty of driving without insurance in New York will automatically lead to a one (1) year revocation of your driver’s license! Before you decide to plead guilty to a traffic summons, you should be aware that pleading guilty to a simple speeding ticket might be the first step toward losing your driver's license!

Some Traffic Tickets Can Result In A Criminal Record

In New York State, there are a number of traffic offenses that are misdemeanor charges for which a conviction will result in a criminal record. For example, if you plead guilty to something as simple as driving with a suspended license (New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law §511.1(a)) you will end up with a criminal record, unless you were under the age of 19 when the offense was committed and are granted youthful offender status by the court. There are a number of other traffic offenses that are misdemeanors as well.

Do Not Plead Guilty To A Traffic Ticket Without First Consulting an Attorney!

In some courts, with certain tickets, when our office is retained prior to the first court date (the date listed on the bottom the ticket) there may be an brief opportunity to get the tickets dismissed by requesting a supporting deposition from the court/police. In some courts, the request must be made on or before to the court date listed on the bottom of the ticket. In other courts the demand must be made within 30 days of the return date listed on the ticket. If the request is made after that date, you may have missed an opportunity. Depending on the response, or lack of a response, a motion may be filed with the court seeking the outright dismissal of the tickets.
