Williamsville Traffic Violations Attorney
Getting a ticket for speeding or some other traffic violation may not seem like a big deal — certainly not one necessitating the help of an attorney. Yet the speeding laws in New York are stringent and accumulating too many tickets can have serious consequences. New York's point system leaves little room for leniency.
If you have received multiple tickets for moving violations in New York and now face the very real possibility of license suspension, do not hesitate to contact the Law Office of Patrick M. Noe, Jr. in Amherst, New York. We can help minimize the impact of multiple tickets on your driving record. Call us toll-free: 1-866-745-5168.
New York's Point System
Under New York's point system (see chart below), if you receive three speeding tickets, or 11 points, within 18 months, your license will be suspended. Having an lawyer to advocate on your behalf is the best way to avoid accumulating too many points and losing your driving privileges.
Negotiating a Plea
Many local courts are not willing to negotiate a plea if speeding is involved, but having an attorney may increase their willingness to negotiate. Our attorney has appeared in court on behalf of numerous clients to help get violations reduced to parking tickets and avoid the build up of points. Often, our clients do not even have to appear in court — let our firm handle court matters for you.
