Traffic Tickets should not be taken lightly. Just because you were issued a ticket does not mean that you are automatically guilty. If you simply pay your traffic summons, the DMV will put points on your license for most infractions. Two or three summonses on your driving record can be enough for you to lose your license. In some cases, only one violation is enough for you to lose your license! This is why the Law Offices of Mindy R. Paget believes that you should fight every traffic ticket. It is your right to contest every summons you receive in order to protect your driving record and privilege to drive in New York. Let us help you.
Being represented by an attorney can increase your chances of winning your case in traffic court. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Mindy R. Paget know exactly how to fight each and every type of summons you may receive. We are familiar with the traffic courts and rules and will use that knowledge and experience to protect your license from points or suspension, keep your insurance costs down, and save you time – in most cases we are able to successfully defend a motorist without the motorist ever attending court.
If you are found guilty of a traffic infraction you may be subject to:
- Points added to your license
- Driver Responsibility Assessment: minimum of $300
- Raised insurance premiums - Convictions, even if they carry no points, make a motorist a greater risk to insure and therefore subject to higher insurance rates
- Suspension - A motorist who acquires enough points (eleven) can be suspended. In some cases, judges have discretion to suspend for even fewer points
- Revocation - Revocation of your license will result if you are convicted of driving without insurance. Revocation will also result if you are convicted of three speeding violations in an 18 month period
- Unemployment - If you drive on behalf or your company, accumulation of points makes you a greater insurance risk and could result in your termination

- Criminal Court Summonses
