2.  Nassau County & Suffolk County Traffic Courts - Knowledge of the Local Court Procedures

Fighting a Long Island speeding ticket is very different from the procedure in other parts of the state.  Each court has different procedures and each prosecutor and judge in the Long Island courts are persuaded by different arguments, evidence and proof.  An experienced local attorney who appears in the local courts on a regular basis is familiar with the evidence that is most persuasive in each individual court in Suffolk and Nassau County and knows best what is needed to assure the best possible resolution of your traffic charges.

3.  Moving Violation Penalties and Consequences are Minimized

A skilled speeding ticket lawyer will work diligently to minimize the penalties and consequences associated with your speeding ticket. Efficient defense of your speeding charges requires an in-depth knowledge of the law as well as court procedure which requires:

• Examination of details and circumstances of your particular case
• Review of any applicable evidence
• Consideration of all weaknesses in the prosecution's case
• Identification of any defects in the traffic ticket

By thoroughly examining your charges and with the use of our negotiation skills, we are often able to negotiate reduced charges to charges with lower points or no points at all.  We can negotiate the fines and, in some cases, get a ticket dismissed altogether.

4.  DMV Points Avoidance

By effectively defending your traffic violation and getting your charges reduced, a traffic attorney reduces or eliminates the points that are recorded on your license.  Points on your record need to be avoided for many reasons.  The two main reasons are:

• If you accumulate 6 or more points, the DMV issues a Driver Responsibility Assessment. The assessment is $300 for the first 6 points and $75 per point over
• If you accumulate 11 or more points within an 18-month period, the DMV will suspend your license

5.  Driving Record and Insurance Rate Protection

The most important effect of a speeding ticket conviction is the impact it can have on your driving record and insurance rates. A moving violation remains on your driving record for more than 3 years from the date of your conviction.

Moving violations on your record is what insurance companies use to determine your insurance premium.  Just one speeding ticket can lead to a significant insurance premium increase.  A speeding ticket lawyer will work diligently to protect your driving record in order to keep your insurance rates manageable.
