What are the Outcomes of a Traffic Conviction in Hamptonburgh, NY?

Even if you’ve been ticketed for a minor traffic offense, you need to be very careful about how you proceed because a traffic conviction could have long-term consequences. A conviction for a traffic violation in Hamptonburgh, NY may result in:

• The traffic court will notify the NY Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), which will then mark your driving record with a traffic conviction. If you are an out-of-state driver, you will be subject to severe consequences when you return to your home state because the New York DMV will forward notice of your conviction.
• The judge may require you to pay heavy fines, as well as other monetary penalties and court costs, depending on the severity of your traffic offense.
• After your insurance carrier is notified of your traffic conviction in Hamptonburgh, NY, they may decide to raise your premiums. If the traffic offense is particularly severe, or if you already have prior convictions on your driving record, your insurance company might cancel your coverage.
• The Hamptonburgh Traffic Court judge may impose other severe punishments, including license suspension or revocation.

Many drivers automatically assume they are guilty simply because a police officer pulled them over and wrote them up for a traffic violation. Do not assume you are guilty and do not plead guilty without talking to an attorney. You should exercise your legal rights and speak with an experienced traffic ticket defense lawyer who can contest your traffic ticket and fight for you in court, whether it’s Hamptonburgh Traffic Court or any other court in Orange County, New York.

I may be able to make legal arguments challenging the officer’s probable cause to pull you over in the first place, or your attorney may dispute the facts in your case by challenging the radar gun reading. Whatever defenses I raise on your behalf, you can rest assured that I possess the legal knowhow needed to successfully argue your case.
