Do not pay a traffic fine before you speak with an experienced attorney. I am Jonathan D. Katz and I’ve been successfully representing clients charged with moving traffic violations in Orange County for more than 36 years. I know that it is a common mistake for people to assume they are automatically guilty when a Tuxedo Town, NY police officer issues them a ticket. Do not make this mistake. A guilty plea to a moving violation could have serious repercussions for you. The traffic offense will go on your driving record, negatively impacting your insurance premiums and possibly even resulting in your insurance company dropping your coverage. Worse yet, many people find that it is difficult to severe new insurance coverage because carriers don’t want to offer policies to “high-risk” drivers. A skilled traffic defense lawyer can assist you in court and help you avoid the pitfalls of a traffic conviction.
