Driving Without Insurance or a License

If you’ve been charged with driving without valid insurance or a suspended license, we can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce penalties and help you restore compliance with the law.

Running a red light or stop sign can result in fines, points on your license, and increased insurance premiums. We scrutinize the details of the violation, including traffic camera footage and witness accounts, to challenge the citation.

  • What should I do if I receive a traffic ticket in New York?

    Review the ticket for accuracy and contact our office immediately to avoid late fees or additional penalties. Consulting with an attorney can help you decide whether to fight the ticket or negotiate for reduced penalties. In New York, you typically have 30 days to respond to a traffic ticket to avoid a default conviction.



  • How many points can I accumulate on my license before it’s suspended?

    In New York, accumulating 11 points within 18 months can result in license suspension. Each traffic violation adds a specific number of points to your record.

    Defensive driving courses can help reduce points on your license by up to four points.







  • Can I fight a red-light camera ticket?

    Yes, red-light camera tickets can be challenged, particularly if there are errors in the documentation or if the camera’s placement violates regulations.

    Fact: Red-light camera violations in New York typically result in a fine but do not add points to your license.



  • What happens if I ignore parking tickets?

    Ignoring parking tickets can lead to increased fines, vehicle impoundment, or even a suspended registration. Addressing tickets promptly or hiring an attorney to negotiate can help mitigate these outcomes.

    Fact: In New York City, failure to pay five or more parking tickets may result in your vehicle being booted or towed.


  • Why should I hire an attorney for a traffic or parking violation?

    An attorney can help you avoid fines, reduce points, and protect your driving record, which can save money on insurance premiums and prevent potential license suspension.

    Fact: In many cases, hiring an attorney can result in reduced charges or outright dismissal of tickets, saving you time and money.
