Paying a speeding ticket can have costs that go far beyond the statutory fine. In New York, you are assessed points for speeding violations. If you receive 11 or more points in an 18-month period, your driver's license may be revoked or suspended. Many insurance companies have zero toleration for traffic violations and may raise your rates for a single speeding ticket violation.
At Hacker Murphy, LLP, in Albany, our attorneys represent people throughout New York who receive speeding tickets in Upstate New York, including Colonie, Albany, Troy, Saratoga Springs and Clifton Park. Many of the people we represent have been cited for violations on I-90 and I-87, also known as the New York Throughway.
Our lawyers typically can obtain reductions to zero-point parking violations or a two-point violation by plea agreement. For most tickets, our clients do not have to miss work or appear in court. Our lawyers can represent you in municipal traffic court and negotiate on your behalf.
