Do You Need a Speeding Ticket Lawyer?

A speeding ticket may seem like a minor matter, but a conviction can have consequences beyond the initial fine. Depending on the violation and your driving history, a traffic conviction may result in points, additional fees, increased insurance costs, or other penalties.

A speeding ticket lawyer can help you understand what you're up against and determine whether contesting the ticket or seeking another resolution may be appropriate.

You may want to speak with a lawyer if:

• You were accused of driving substantially over the speed limit.
• You already have points or other violations on your driving record.
• You have received multiple speeding tickets.
• You are concerned about your automobile insurance rates.
• You rely on your driver's license for work.
• You believe the speeding ticket was issued incorrectly.
• You are facing a court appearance.
• You are concerned about accumulating additional points.
• You are unsure whether you should plead guilty or contest the ticket.

Every traffic case is different. An attorney can review the specific facts and applicable New York law before advising you about your options.

Can a Speeding Ticket Lawyer Fight My Ticket?

Even as experienced speeding ticket lawyers, we cannot guarantee that a speeding ticket will be dismissed or reduced. However, we can examine the circumstances surrounding the citation and determine whether there are legitimate issues that may be raised in your defense.

Depending on the facts of the case, our law office may examine:

• The Alleged Speed: The speed you were accused of traveling and the applicable speed limit can affect the seriousness of the violation and potential consequences.
• How Your Speed Was Determined: The circumstances surrounding the alleged speed may be relevant to the case. Your attorney can review the available evidence and the method used to determine your speed.
• The Circumstances of the Traffic Stop: The events leading up to and during the traffic stop may be relevant to your case. An attorney can review the circumstances and determine whether there are legal or factual issues that should be addressed.
• The Traffic Citation: An attorney can review the information contained in your ticket and identify potential issues or inconsistencies that may be relevant under New York law.
• Your Driving Record: Your prior driving history may be important when evaluating the potential consequences of another traffic conviction. If you already have points or other violations, another conviction could have a greater impact on your driving privileges.
