Then The Shelton Law Firm can help. Contact us now for a free consultation. We are familiar with the Hudson Valley courts including those located in Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Sullivan, Ulster, and Dutchess Counties. In most cases you can stay home and we will go to court and fight on your behalf. Only by fighting your ticket can you hope to reduce or avoid the costs associated with it.
We are so confident we can help that we offer a money back guarantee. The costs associated with a New York speeding ticket, traffic infraction or moving violation can be substantial. Some costs are immediately apparent such as increased insurance premiums, points on your license, fines and surcharges. Other costs are hidden such as suspension or revocation of your driver license and DMV imposed fees.
For example, did you know that pleading guilty to 76 mph in a 55 mph zone will subject you to a driver responsibility assessment fee of $300 or more. The driver responsibility assessment fee is in addition to any fines and surcharges assessed by the court.

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") uses a points system to track driving habits and take action against what it considers to be "habitual or persistent violators."
The system assigns point values to certain traffic violations.
Inadequate brakes (NY VTL 375-1; Misdemeanor offense; 2 points if driving vehicle of an employer).
Improper passing, unsafe lane change, driving to the left of center, driving in the wrong direction (NY VTL 1120 - 1128, 1252).
Failure to obey a traffic signal, a stop sign, or a yield sign (NY VTL 1111, 1113, 1116, 1117, 1172).

Cell phones are marvelous.
They keep us instantly connected with the world including our friends and families.
Unfortunately, they have a dark side when used while driving.
The National Safety Council estimates that at least 27% of all crashes in 2013 (over 1.5 million crashes) involved drivers talking and texting on cell phones.
As a result, it is no surprise that the use of a cell phone or electronic device while driving is a very serious traffic violation.
In fact, New York recently increased the severity of the penalties and fines imposed for the use of cell phones and texting while driving.

Disobeying a stop sign in New York state is a serious violation.
This is no surprise given the potential risks to public safety.
Unfortunately, everyone has probably done it at least once in their lifetime.
It usually happens because you either did not see the stop sign or you slowly rolled through it without coming to a complete stop.
Pleading guilty or being convicted of this violation can be quite costly.
The right to proceed after stopping is governed by VTL 1142.
After stopping the motorist must yield to any vehicle which has entered the intersection or any vehicle which is approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard.

Red light tickets are one of the most common tickets issued in New York State.
In fact, the Federal Highway Administration reports that 1 in 3 drivers admit to running a red light in the past 30 days.
Given the significant risk to the public, an estimated 165,000 people injured annually, its no surprise that New York state imposes serious penalties for red light violations.
New York VTL 1111(d)(1) requires a motorist to stop when facing a steady red signal and remain standing until indicated to proceed.
