Do not make the mistake of paying your traffic ticket before speaking with an experienced lawyer. Plenty of people assume they are automatically guilty simply because a police officer has issued them a ticket. The reality is that police officers often make mistakes, whether it’s a faulty radar gun reading or lack of probable cause for stopping the vehicle. Without a knowledgeable attorney on your side, you may be left defenseless in court and subject to significant penalties that include heavy fines and driver’s license points. Get too many points, and you may wind up losing your driver’s license. Additionally, your insurance company could raise your premiums or cancel your policy altogether.
While local prosecutors and police officers are generally open to negotiating a plea deal in traffic cases, they are much more likely to discuss things with a qualified lawyer. I am attorney Jonathan D. Katz and when I represent you in Washingtonville Traffic Court, I will persuasively argue on your behalf and do everything possible to get the traffic charges dismissed or work out a favorable plea agreement that results in a reduced charge to a lesser offense, fewer points, and lower fines.
