You have every right to contest your charge and assert your defense to a traffic ticket in Wallkill or anywhere else in Orange County, New York. Although you may not be required to show up to Wallkill Town Traffic Court on the day of the trial, you still have the right to retain the services of a skilled lawyer who can assert legal defenses on your behalf.

Pre-Trial Discussions: From the moment you retain my services, I will begin crafting strategies to help you beat your traffic ticket in Wallkill Town Traffic Court. Before your case even reaches trial, I will open negotiations with local the prosecutor and the police officer who ticketed you to see if I can get your charges dismissed or reduced. These negotiations typically take place the day of the hearing, prior to the start of trial. Many times, I will end up negotiating with the police officer and securing a reduced charge for a non-moving violation like improper parking.
Getting your charge downgraded from a moving violation to a non-moving violation could spare you from getting points on your license and save you from costly hikes in your insurance rates. If your traffic charge is particularly serious, such as a high-speeding offense, I will try to get the charge reduced to a lesser offense so you don’t lose your driver’s license. Additionally, if you were ticketed for multiple traffic violations on the same ticket, I may be able to get all of the violations merged into a single charge, which reduces the total number of points you face and potentially saves you hundreds of dollars in fines.

Going to Trial: If a plea deal cannot be worked out with the prosecutor or police officer, your case may very well head to trial. If this happens, rest assured that I live to beat prosecutors in traffic court. I provide first-rate defense against traffic charges and I will not hesitate to get creative when it comes to raising strong defenses on your behalf. I go the distance for my clients because I know how stressful it can be to face a traffic ticket in court.
Whether your ticket stemmed from a minor speeding ticket or something more serious, I know how to challenge the evidence. If the police officer committed an error when filing their official report, I can find it. If the road you were driving on was unsafe due to poor construction or inclement weather, I will note this for the court. If the police officer used faulty radar equipment, I will get to the bottom of it because I have handled countless traffic cases in New York courts.
