Even if you think it makes sense to plead guilty to a traffic ticket in Orangetown, New York, you should still talk to a traffic attorney before doing so. A guilty plea to a moving violation in New York could have long-lasting and severe consequences, including:

• The Orangetown Court will contact the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The DMV will then place the conviction on your driving record. Even if you happen to be an out-of-state driver who was ticketed while driving through NY, you can still be hit with points on your license, surcharges and other significant penalties when you go back to your home state.
• The judge could decide to impose serious fines, monetary penalties and other court costs related to the disposition of your traffic matter. Sometimes it can be tough to pay an expensive traffic ticket while also trying to cover the costs of rising auto insurance after getting a ticket, so Mr. Katz will be there for you and do whatever he can to get your charges dismissed or reduced.
• Your motor vehicle insurance carrier might decide to hike your auto insurance rates or even drop you from coverage entirely, depending on the severity of the traffic offense and whether you have any prior convictions.
• The Orangetown Traffic Court judge could have the power to suspend or revoke your driving privileges in New York

• Negotiate a Plea Deal before Trial: Mr. Katz has more than 36 years of experience practicing law in NY courtrooms. That experience has allowed him to develop advanced negotiating skills that he can and will use on your behalf. He will scrutinize the details of your particular traffic stop and determine whether the traffic cop violated your legal rights in any way. For example, if the traffic officer who ticketed you did not have probable cause to stop your vehicle in the first place, Mr. Katz may be able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss your ticket. Before the start of trial, I will discuss your traffic matter with the police officer and/or the prosecutor and attempt to work out a favorable plea deal, possibly getting the charges dropped or significantly reduced.
• Trial in Orangetown Traffic Court: Mr. Katz prepares each and every case for trial; that way, he is never caught off guard in the courtroom. If necessary, he will stand up for you in Orangetown Traffic Court, question key witnesses and attack the opposition’s evidence so that he can beat your traffic charges and make sure you avoid the most severe penalties.
