It’s the state’s responsibility to prove you guilty of the charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Many people choose to pay their fines and move on rather than deal with going to court. When someone who wants to fight their ticket comes along, oftentimes, the state would rather negotiate a lower offense or give up the case than put in the effort to rebut a challenge. In some situations, there is simply not enough evidence available to prove to the court that you are guilty.

The combination of fines, surcharges, and insurance increases that result from a speeding ticket or violation can cost thousands of dollars. Our Poughkeepsie speeding ticket attorney will be able to minimize the number of points and fees for your traffic ticket.

By working with a speeding ticket attorney, you may also prevent your auto insurance from drastically increasing, as insurance companies raise rates based on a person’s driving record. Insurers check your record when they renew your policy, and all it takes is one speeding ticket to produce an increase in your rates. If your traffic violation was particularly bad, the insurance company could cancel your coverage all together. This makes it even more important to hire our New York speeding and traffic ticket attorney to represent you and protect your rights.
