Types of Safety Hearings

You may be required to appear at a safety hearing for many different reasons.

These could include:

  • Fatal accidents: If you were a driver involved in a fatal accident, even if you were not charged with a traffic or criminal violation, you will have to attend a hearing. The judge has the discretion to suspend/revoke your license either temporarily or indefinitely based on the circumstances of your case.
  • Suspicion of fraud: If you write a bad check to the DMV/MVC, make false statements on an application, or the DMV determines through facial recognition software that you applied for a license under a different name, it can trigger the suspicion of fraud. You may be required to attend a hearing to determine if your driving privileges should be suspended or revoked, or if criminal charges should be brought against you.
  • Refusing to submit to a breath test: If you are pulled over for drunk driving and refuse to submit to a breath test, you face automatic license suspension and will be required to attend a safety hearing. It is an opportunity to determine whether police conducted themselves properly to try to administer the test.
  • Three serious traffic violations in 25 years: In New York, if you are convicted of three or more serious traffic violations in 25 consecutive years, your license can be suspended for five years. You are entitled to a hearing within 60-days of your denial letter. If you are unsuccessful at your hearing, we can help you attempt to reopen a prior case and vacate a conviction.

    "Hire him with confidence."
    I owe Marty a debt of gratitude for the way in which he counseled me on traffic tickets and what to do in court. I would give Marty my highest recommendation. He REALLY knows his stuff. Do hire him with confidence. While I hope I never need him again I rest a little easier knowing that I have him by my side. Thanks, Marty.

    "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!

    "Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning."
    In September 2015 I was faced with a very serious New York City traffic violation. I was very upset with the predicament I had gotten myself into & reached out to Martin A. Kron for legal counsel. Subsequent to explaining what happened Martin agreed to handle my case & assured me I was in good hands - at this point I formally retained Martin. I sweated out a possible suspended license - I was humiliated, embarrassed & humbled by the sheer recklessness of my actions. I swore to myself that if I got off with just a warning I would never ever disobey the traffic laws again. Via his expert legal acumen & experience, Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning. I strongly recommend The Law Offices of Martin A. Kron to anyone facing a traffic violation. In summary, do not disobey the traffic laws - the consequences are just not worth it.

    "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!

    "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 would like to thank Mr. Martin for his quick and professional help! My traffic problem was resolved in the best possible way. I felt I could rely on Mr. Martin with my problems and was very secure regarding the outcome. It was a pleasure to work with and communicate. Thanks a lot for your help!

    "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.
