How Our Mineola NY Traffic Lawyer Will Help You
Traffic Ticket and Violations
Speeding Tickets: Our attorney will thoroughly review the summons to look for deficiencies, and will best advise you on how to defend against it. Will review the driving record of the motorist to determine the best course of action and how the matter can be resolved. Attorney Michael W. Alpert is very familiar with the procedures and protocols for all local Courts and traffic agencies in New York.
Suspended License: This is a serious traffic misdemeanor and attorney Michael W. Alpert takes such matters very seriously. He will review the driving record with the motorist to address the underlying basis for the suspension and the steps to be taken to clear the suspension. Quite often, the attorney can get the misdemeanor reduced to a simple traffic (non-criminal violation) and can get many of the attached tickets dismissed in satisfaction of the plea.
Suspended Registration: This driving misdemeanor often results from a lapse of insurance and depending if the operator of the vehicle is the owner will determine how the case will be resolved. Regardless, the attorney gets great results for his clients.
Cell Phone Tickets: Whether it’s driving while talking or texting on the phone, attorney Michael W. Alpert knows what to look for regarding any facially insufficient components of the traffic violation. Quite often, he can get this five (5) point violation significantly reduced.
Trucking Tickets: These are generally Transportation Law violations such as overweight vehicles, brakes, steering, and other equipment violations that the attorney can get successfully reduced, and quite often dismissed outright. The company must retain an attorney if the tickets are issued to a corporation.
No Insurance Violations: Can carry a one (1) year license revocation and a high civil penalty if convicted. Attorney Michael W. Alpert knows how to navigate through such violations and can assist with getting the best possible violation, regarding whether the operator is the owner, or whether the vehicle carried insurance or not.
Reckless Driving: A five (5) point traffic misdemeanor conviction can result in jail time and have adverse immigration consequences as well as significant effects on your insurance. Attorney Michael W. Alpert is very well versed in the elements of this traffic misdemeanor and has represented many clients with this violation.
