In 2023, NYPD and other law enforcement agencies issued 171,209 traffic tickets to drivers in Queens. That is up from 2022 but still well below 2014 when the number of speeding tickets in the borough was at its highest (the latest year available). Queens’ traffic court has a reputation for being one of the toughest courts in New York. That is a great reason to hire a qualified NYC traffic lawyer to fight your ticket.

Budget-Friendly Traffic Lawyers in NYC

While traffic violations don’t carry jail sentences and fines are limited, they can cause points to add up on your driving record which can result in higher insurance rates and even license suspension in severe cases. Fortunately, most people charged with traffic violations have legitimate defenses and a competent NYC traffic ticket lawyer can help you navigate the process.

Affordable NYC Traffic Ticket Lawyers will know the law and process inside and out. They will be able to identify any loopholes in the prosecutors’ case and can often get tickets reduced to non-moving violations, which will not add points to your driving record.

For example, if you are charged with a violation like failing to use a turn signal, VTL SS1163, our firm will examine the radar readings, witness statements and any other evidence that the police officer presented. We will argue that the officer’s perception was subjective and did not accurately reflect your actions. You may be able to convince the judge that you did not have time to use your turn signal because you were trying to get out of a jam.
