If you are charged with a DWI in the State of New York it is a crime, a misdemeanor. If this is the second time you are charged with a DWI misdemeanor within ten years of a conviction for a prior DWI, you are most likely facing a Felony charge. Goodbye professional license!
Penalties also include jail and/or probation, loss of driving privileges for up to three (3) years, Mandatory Substance Abuse counseling, DWI fines of up to $1165.00 including surcharges, DMV assessments starting @ $750.00. Prohibition against driving in Canada. Increased auto, homeowners, umbrella and keyman insurance policy premiums, if not dropped! In short, a horror show!

Non criminal traffic tickets are addressed by the local city, town, or village criminal court in most of New York State.

The New York State DMV Traffic Violations Bureau (or TVB) adjudicates non-criminal moving violations issued in certain jurisdictions, including New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, and the Towns of Babylon, Brookhaven, Islip, Riverhead and Smithtown in Western Suffolk County. If you receive a traffic ticket in these areas, your case will be heard at an administrative hearing rather than in a local criminal court. There are many rules which make it difficult for motorists who contest a TVB traffic ticket or summons. For example, you cannot plea bargain your case, there is no right to discovery, no supporting deposition are available, hearsay evidence is admissible and many rules of evidence do not apply. Additionally, if you are more than one hour late for a scheduled hearing it could result in a suspension of your operating privileges.

We can provide answers, suggestions and defenses to help your speeding or  traffic tickets violations. If you plead guilty to a traffic ticket offense such as speeding, your auto insurance rates will undoubtedly increase. Many times other protective policies such as Homeowner, Keyman and Umbrella Insurance policy premiums also increase You will also accumulate points on your New York State driver's license which may lead to additional driver responsibility assessment charges (three hundred dollars ($300.00) once your point total reaches six (6) points, and an additional $75.00 for every point charged against you within the same 18 month period). This new assessment program is applicably to any driver incurring six points in NYS regardless of what state they are licensed in.

In addition, if a New York State driver is convicted of three speeding tickets all issued in NY within the same 18 month period, their New York State license (or out of state driver privileges) will be revoked for a minimum six months.

Our goal is to obtain a dismissal or reduction of the charge to one that will have the least impact on your driver's license (suspension at eleven points) and auto insurance costs. If you have past charges which have not been resolved, our lawyers work with the New York Department of Motor Vehicles, the Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB), and the various local municipalities to clear those tickets and keep your driver's license from being suspended or revoked or have a suspended license restored!

In addition to DWI defense, the firm defends clients charged with other traffic, speeding and/or criminal offenses, including:
