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.

  • "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.

  • "I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything."
    I had 3 cell phone violations within 18 months, which by law subjects me to license suspension. Mr. Kron and I deferred our case 4 times which is the maximum. When we finally decided to plead me guilty, Mr. Kron did everything within his power to reason with the judge for leniency-and he succeeded!! I was found guilty, have to pay a fine, but will be able to keep on driving which is extremely important for me to maintain my lifestyle. Most importantly, during this process, I was a nervous wreck. Mr. Kron was immediate in his responses to my inquiries----almost replying to my texts before I hit send!! I cannot thank this man enough... I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything. He did an absolutely wonderful job for me. One final thought. You know how you read about or see about everything else that works for other people but never works for you? This is a case where this guy was an angel and delivered me the best possible outcome. I am a very lucky man today because of Mr. Kron.

  • "I was out of the court in 20 minutes."
    Marty is a professional, and a very caring person. Recently on my way to daughters graduation, I entered HOV lane at GW Bridge. On his advise I pleaded guilty but the points were waived. He met me at the court and we went before the judge right away and I was out of the court in 20 minutes.
    Satisfied Client
  • "Moving violation dismissed."
    Mr. Kron he made no guarantees and was honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security as to what the final turn out would be.

  • "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.

  • "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!

    I'm happy to say today my wife was able to finally get her new license plates for NJ after the NY suspension was completely wiped from her record. Amazing turnaround. I like their no-nonsense approach.
