Whether you’re on your way to or from vacation, work or simple errands, getting ticketed for a traffic violation can ruin your day. If you are from outside the Ulster, NY area, you may consider paying the ticket because you can’t return to this area to appear in court to fight your ticket.

Paying the Ticket is the Equivalent of Pleading Guilty! Don’t Do It!

In most cases you do not have to appear in court. I’ve represented many, many drivers, like you, who have been stopped and ticketed for a variety of driving offenses including speeding, reckless driving, DWI, driving without insurance and others. In most cases, as your Ulster County traffic ticket lawyer, I can stand in your place in court and in negotiations.

Reasons You Shouldn’t Plead Guilty Before Talking to My Firm
  • Pleading guilty will appear on your driving record and can add points to your driving record
  • Too many points can result in a New York Driver Assessment which will mean added fines
  • Pleading guilty may result in higher insurance premiums for several years and a loss of your license
  • Losing a license may mean losing your job and high expenses for public or private alternate transportation
  • In severe cases, your license may be revoked
If You Plead Guilty, You Can’t Change Your Plea Later

I’ve helped countless drivers like you by working to get their traffic tickets dismissed or reduced, for more than 36 years. I focus my practice in Ulster County, New York and in the Mid-Hudson Valley. I know the courts, the judges and prosecutors and the laws and I will put all my experience and efforts behind your case. In some cases, I may be able to get your ticket reduced to a non-moving violation – saving you money and points on your license. I also have a strong background defending clients accused of drunk driving. When experience matters, contact my law firm for a free consultation.

Knowing the Local Officers and Prosecutors Makes all the Difference

I know how to negotiate with local police officers and prosecutors. Negotiation can be used to reduce the charges to a lesser offense such as a non-moving violation, to reduce the points, to merge multiple offenses into one offense, or to eliminate the charges altogether. Through my experience trying numerous cases, I know the factual and legal arguments that may persuade the police officer and the prosecutor to reduce or dismiss charges. This kind of knowledge comes from years of experience and successful outcomes.

Knowing the Local Judges Helps

I know the arguments that persuade local judges. While each judge is different and no lawyer can guarantee how a judge is going to rule, it does help to know something about the Ulster judge who decides your case.

  • Some judges may be more inclined to consider technical legal defenses than others
  • Others may be more likely to consider factual defenses
  • Some judges allow more latitude in cross-examination than others
  • Other judges may be more likely to look for a compromise solution
  • Knowing the local judge makes it easier to present the best arguments
Why Knowing the Local Roads Matters?

I know the ins and outs of the roads where local drivers get stopped. Some roads are so heavily driven by drivers going fast that driving the speed limit can actually be dangerous. I can help you make that argument as well as creating a defense based on poor signage. I represent clients who have been stopped on US Routes 9W, 92, and 209; Interstate 287 and NY routes 19, 28, 32, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, 52, 54, 55, 199, 212, 213, 214, and 299.
