Call 315-235-1706 in Utica for Advice About Motor Vehicle Offenses

Our goal is to find a way to keep violations points off your driving record. If you accumulate too many points, your license will be suspended. We advise drivers about the whole range of traffic tickets, motor vehicle violations, and even criminal offenses. We know how to focus on the facts that can give you a chance to plead to a no-points offense or reduce a misdemeanor charge to a violation. Our lawyers also represent drivers facing the most serious felony charges, such as vehicular manslaughter or hit and run.

The last thing you should do is pay a traffic fine before you've discussed your situation with an attorney. Our knowledge of the local courts and charging procedures in the different counties and towns along the New York Thruway route can represent an important advantage for you, whether you're a local resident, a commercial truck driver or a college student from out of state.

Our law firm represents drivers charged with such traffic violations and motor vehicle offenses as:

  • Speeding
  • High-speed violations
  • Reckless driving
  • Aggravated unlicensed operation
  • Driving after suspension or revocation
  • Driving without insurance
  • DWI or DWAI
  • Tickets during the six-month new license probation period
  • Equipment violations
  • Seat belt or cell phone violations

If you don't live near Utica, we can usually represent you and resolve your traffic problem through a waiver of appearance, which means that you won't need to return to the area for court.
