Successfully Contesting a Traffic Ticket in NJ

One critical factor in successfully contesting a traffic ticket in New Jersey is understanding the nuances of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) system. Our firm excels in dissecting the details of each case, examining evidence, and identifying procedural errors that could work in your favor. Whether negotiating with prosecutors for reduced charges or representing you in court, we aim to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.

The Main Types of New Jersey Traffic Violations

Two main categories of traffic violations in New Jersey include: 

  • Moving violations: Moving violations refer to offenses that occur while the vehicle is in motion, such as speeding, reckless driving, or running a red light.
  • Fixed violations: Fixed violations include parking tickets, traffic signal violations, and seatbelt or cell phone use while driving.

Regardless of the type of violation, it is important to seek legal representation to protect your rights and potentially mitigate any consequences.

Penalties for Traffic Violations 

The penalties for traffic violations in New Jersey can vary depending on the severity of the offense. These can include the following:

  • Fines: Depending on the violation, fines can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. 
    • Careless driving fines can range from approximately $50 to $200, with two points on your driver's license. 
    • Fines for speeding 1-14 MPH over the limit are about $85 to $95, while speeding 15-29 MPH over the limit can cost $105 to $220. 
    • A reckless driving offense can result in five points on your license. 
    • A DUI carries a $1,000 annual surcharge for three years and other penalties.
  • Points on Your Driver's License: Accumulated points on your driver's license can lead to increased insurance premiums and potential license suspension or revocation.
  • License Suspension or Revocation: The duration of a license suspension or revocation in New Jersey can differ greatly depending on the specific traffic violation involved.

Factors influencing the length of suspension or revocation include the severity of the offense, the driver’s previous driving history, and whether the violation resulted in an accident.

Potential suspension or revocation periods for common traffic violations in New Jersey can include:

  • Driving under the influence (DUI): For a first DUI offense, the suspension period can range from three months to one year. Repeat offenses usually lead to longer suspensions or revocations.
  • Speeding: While a single speeding incident may not automatically result in a suspension, excessive speeding or multiple speeding violations can lead to losing driving privileges.
  • Reckless driving: In New Jersey, a driver's license can be suspended for up to six months for reckless driving.
  • Driving without a license: If you’re driving and have never had a driver's license, you may face a minimum fine of $200, up to 60 days in county jail, and a minimum 180-day suspension on obtaining a license. If your license was previously valid but has expired or been revoked, fines can reach up to $500 and possibly up to 60 days in jail.
  • Accumulating points: Collecting a certain number of points on a license within a specified time frame can trigger a suspension, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean driving record.

  • "Martin was honest, clear and available."
    This was my first time hiring an attorney for a ticket. I had a ticket for speeding in a school zone and was in jeopardy of having my license suspended. Martin was honest, clear and available. He just communicated with me and shared I was found not guilty!!! So grateful and thankful for Martin and his team!

  • "He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did."

    I Hired Martin to help resolve 2 tickets I received for improper use of a cellphone. Martin listened to my story and was very honest and said I would lose the case unless I could prove it was a dire emergency. Martin explained how the process worked and that there was no ability to plea the tickets down. He explained points of law and how his firm would represent me in the cases. He did this during a Sunday morning while with his family. I was very impressed with his dedication to my cases. He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did. Very classy.

    By the way, he won the first case for me! Second is pending. But regardless of the outcome, I know he is working hard to represent my case properly. Thanks for everything

  • "One week later my ticket was dismissed."
    Great decision+great attorney=great result
    Scott
  • "So personable and nice."
    When I called the Firm I was very hesitant in even hiring an attorney but after speaking with the attorney I felt very comfortable in my decision in hiring an attorney. I had a reckless driving summons in NY and the attorney Lindsay Kron met me at court. She was so personable and nice. She was able to have my summons reduced to a no point no criminal violation with a minimal fine. This Firm is amazing and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them in the future.

  • "Reduced my son's fine considerably."
    My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.

    The NY DMV can be difficult to navigate, I am so glad that I called Martin A. Kron & Associates. Vanessa and the team resolved a difficult situation for my family in a matter of days.
    Anthony
  • "He kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved."
    Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.
