White Plains, NY, Look No Further For Traffic Violation Legal Problems

Michael Kramer, Attorney at Law

Anxious to get home fast after a long week at work only to be caught speeding by the police? Was your speed embellished so the officer could ping you with a reckless driving ticket instead of a simple speeding ticket? The cop pulling in a few more dollars for the precinct may cost you:

Five driving points to your driver’s license;
Potentially losing the ability to drive legally;
Fines of $300, $535, or $1,125, depending on whether it was your first, second, or third time being “caught” recklessly driving, respectively;
An additional $93 administrative fee;
Worst of all – jail time of 30, 90, or 180 days, depending on whether it was your first, second, or third time being “caught” recklessly driving, respectively.

The State of New York requires that your opposition prove you had reckless regard while driving for you to be convicted of the crime. Proving a crime like this in court is difficult, but being ill-equipped to mount a defense on your own may be the difference between having the charge reduced, if not entirely forgotten, and spending half a year in jail.

Many traffic laws in New York other than reckless have similar stipulations and consequences for those found guilty.

What Types Of Cases Do You Handle?

Michael Kramer, Attorney At Law is White Plains, NY’s go-to traffic tickets attorney defending you if facing legal repercussions for an array of things, including:

Traffic tickets;
- Representing yourself in court usually boils down to your word against the word of the police officer. As you would expect, judges, by and large, side with the police officer, not you. If I were your traffic tickets defense lawyer, I would enter into a plea bargain on your behalf and reduce, if not eliminate, the charge from your record, depending on your specific case. The best thing for you is that I charge you the same whether or not we win the case, incentivizing me to deliver my best regardless of the outcome.
Traffic misdemeanors;
- Included here are having invalid auto insurance, driving without valid insurance, driving with brakes that do not work correctly, racing without permission, and DWI (applicable to both drugs and alcohol), among others. You can be taken into custody for these offenses, although police officers tend to issue a ticket.
Reckless driving;
- This is a misdemeanor in the State of New York and can include things you might not expect, like driving a motor scooter on a sidewalk and simply causing pedestrians to dodge the scooter – not even hitting them. Depending on your case, you might require the services of a traffic violation lawyer.
Driving on a suspended license;
- The least severe driving infraction will cost you at least $200 if caught violating this law. However, there are other legal ramifications because it is a misdemeanor, including potential jail time and probation.
Leaving the scene of an accident.
- Leaving the scene of an accident is divided into two categories – those with property damage and those where a person was injured. Those that cause property damage are misdemeanors, but those that cause personal injury can be felonies, depending on the specific case. Either way, the legal repercussions you may face are not something to try to breeze through on your own.
