Speeding Ticket Attorney New York

Hudson Valley Traffic Violation Lawyer

A traffic ticket should not be taken lightly. Extra points on your license can result in an increase in your insurance premiums and the possible suspension or revocation of your driver's license. With legal representation, however, it may be possible to reduce the charge to a non-moving violation.

At my practice, Jonathan D. Katz, Attorney at Law, I represent clients in all types of traffic violation cases, including:

Speeding
Illegal lane changes
Faulty equipment
Running a red light
Failure to yield
Driving with a suspended or revoked license
Driving without a license or without insurance
And other traffic violations

In many cases, I can reduce a traffic ticket to a lesser charge or a non-moving violation. This can keep points off your license, save you hundreds of dollars in insurance premiums and keep you on the road.

Call 845-256-8274 or send an e-mail to arrange for a consultation.

Consult with an Attorney Before You Do Anything

Paying the fine is an admission of guilt, and you will collect points. If you do not respond, you can still be found guilty. Points will be assessed and your license will be automatically suspended, pending a hearing. Before you do anything else, you should consult with an attorney.

Different courts can view traffic violation cases in different ways. Through a clear presentation of the facts and persuasive arguments, it may be possible to obtain a reduction in the charge to a non-moving violation or even the dismissal of a ticket.

My firm can represent you with the goals of keeping your driving record as clean as possible, minimizing your points, and keeping you on the road.

You Will Not Have to Appear in Court

In traffic ticket cases, a court appearance by the driver is not necessary. I can represent you at the hearing and resolve all aspects of your case without your having to travel, saving you precious time and money. I handle cases throughout the Hudson Valley, Ulster County and Orange County.

Elizabeth

Upon interviewing Jonathan Katz, I decided to retain him because I was impressed with his approach to divorce: he advocated communication, conflict reduction, and efficiency, toward reducing the stress and monetary expense already inherent to any legal action.

When my case took unexpected turns, Jonathan was agile and effective in his response, even when the straightforward divorce turned into an international custody battle that went to federal court. Responsive at every turn, efficient, and wise in his counsel, Mr. Katz's legal services gave me real value for my investment.

Diane

Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting my self. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution.

Jon's integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know whats important to you. You're not just a number. He is up front with you right from the start. He will not string you along just for his financial benefit. He is only willing to settle the case if thats truly what you want. Anytime I called him I received a call back from him that day. Not someone else in the office. He is an attorney that has a passion for whats important to his clients.
