FAQ

FAQs About NYC Traffic Ticket Defense​

Yes. While you can represent yourself, an experienced NYC traffic ticket attorney understands the courts, DMV procedures, and defenses that can help reduce fines, avoid points, and protect your license. For professional drivers, avoiding points is especially critical.

A speeding ticket can result in fines, surcharges, and 3 to 11 points on your license depending on how fast you were going over the limit. Accumulating too many points can trigger a license suspension. Our firm challenges radar accuracy, officer testimony, and procedural errors to fight these tickets.

Using a handheld phone while driving carries 5 points on your license, plus fines and surcharges. For TLC drivers (Uber, Lyft, taxis), one cell phone ticket can put your license and livelihood at risk. We fight these tickets to protect your record and career.

Reckless driving is a criminal offense, not just a traffic infraction. It can result in fines, 5 points, higher insurance rates, and even jail time. Our attorneys defend reckless driving cases aggressively to avoid criminal records and harsh penalties.

Failing to stop at a stop sign or for a school bus can lead to 3 points, heavy fines, and insurance increases. For professional drivers, multiple violations may threaten your TLC license. We fight these tickets by reviewing evidence such as traffic camera footage or officer testimony.

The TLC can suspend your license for traffic violations, DWI arrests, or even marijuana-related charges. A suspension means you cannot drive for Uber, Lyft, or taxis in NYC, which can devastate your income. Our attorneys represent drivers at TLC hearings to challenge suspensions and keep you working.

Red light camera tickets are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle, not necessarily the driver. The fine is typically $50, and no points are added. However, repeated tickets may raise insurance issues or TLC concerns. Our firm helps drivers contest tickets when cameras are faulty or notices are improper.

Pleading guilty closes your case but adds points, fines, and surcharges to your record. Too many points within 18 months can result in a suspended license. For TLC and commercial drivers, a guilty plea can jeopardize your career. Speaking with a traffic defense attorney before pleading is always the safer option.

Yes. Insurance companies review your driving record. Tickets for speeding, reckless driving, or cell phone use can significantly raise your premiums. Multiple violations can lead to non-renewal of your policy.

We bring years of experience defending drivers in NYC Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) courts and TLC hearings. Our attorneys know how to challenge evidence, cross-examine officers, and negotiate outcomes that minimize fines, points, and long-term consequences. For everyday drivers and professional TLC drivers, we work to protect your license, your record, and your livelihood.
