Successfully Contesting a Traffic Ticket in NJ

One critical factor in successfully contesting a traffic ticket 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 and Vanessa are superlative professionals, and I can't recommend them highly enough!"
    Martin took on my case for a flat rate and guaranteed a full refund if he couldn't reverse the suspension. Three weeks later, my license was fully restored!

  • "BEST DEAL IN NYC!!!"

  • "I will never deal with another attorney again."

    I experienced a very difficult situation between the states of New York as well as New Jersey where I was potentially facing a 6-month suspension of my license. Aside from the fact that I live 6 hours from New Jersey, I was in dire need of professional expertise to ensure that my situation was handled as well as possible. I spoke with a number of attorney's and decided to hire Martin; and will never deal with another attorney again. Martin was extremely friendly, offered great advice and support and ultimately helped me to have all of the charges thrown out with my case being dropped.

    As we all know, no one can promise or guarantee the same outcome. However, if you want the best chance to receive the best possible outcome, Martin Kron and his team are your only option.

  • "It's a relief knowing they are on my side."

    I am currently a client of Martin and his firm. They are a hard working firm and have been a pleasure to work with. I have spoken to several of them on the phone (sometimes on the weekend) and they have been nothing short of kind and generous. Their feedback and guidance thru emails and phone calls have been outstanding. It's a relief knowing they are on my side and doing everything they can to restore my driving privileges. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm in helping me is unlike no other firm I have dealt with. I would highly recommend them if you are in any sort of traffic violations.

  • "Martin is the perfect person for this job."

    As a former NYS Traffic Law Judge and having previously sat where the Judges before him now sit, Martin is the perfect person for this job. Besides a plethora of experience on and off the bench, he's kind and honest, he listens and is attentive to your concerns, is straightforward and most importantly, gives out reasonable expectations. He always returns phone calls in a timely manner and makes himself accessible even on weekends. And to top it off, he even has a sense of humor. Hope I never have to hire him again, but if the situation arises, he's my go-to guy!
