The Law Office of Joel Salinger, P.C. can represent you in any New York State court and fight your speeding violation, which will save you points and money on car insurance. In most cases, we can go to court for you so you can sit back and relax as we do all the work.

What Results We Can Get For You?

For the vast majority of traffic violations in New York State, we can reduce your speeding ticket to a non-moving violation such as a parking ticket or failure to obey a traffic control device.

Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB)

The TVB is a special administrative court that has its own rules and procedures. Individuals, who are charged with traffic tickets in New York City, are required to report to the TVB for a trial if they plead not guilty. In the TVB there is no “plea bargain” process, so a traffic ticket attorney cannot go into court and negotiate a reduction of the charges with the prosecutor. Therefore, there are three main things we can do:

• We can represent you in court, so you do not have to show up
• We can push off the trial date, hope the police officer does not show up for 3 court appearances, and then make a motion for dismissal
• We can make a motion to reduce the speed by 5 MPH on the grounds that the radar or method used to catch speeders is not completely accurate. (Not all speeding is measured by radar and we understand the imperfect science of radar detection.)

If you have been cited with a New York speeding ticket it’s time to call an attorney who specializes in New York speeding ticket traffic violations. Going it alone or using an attorney who doesn’t special in traffic law can be a mistake that you will live with for a long while. Depending upon the severity of the charges, New York courts can handle the ticket differently. Sometimes your ticket can lead to points on your license which can lead to increased insurance rates. Other motor vehicle violations like reckless driving can lead to fines or sometimes potentially even imprisonment. Occasionally, people feel they will go in and handle it themselves and that it isn’t a big deal. However, often it is actually cheaper in the end to hire an attorney who can deal with your New York speeding ticket more effectively. Here is why:

If you elect to answer for the ticket or charges on your own behalf, you very likely may not be able to negotiate as good a deal as an attorney who knows how to beat your NY speeding ticket.
