Is it Worth Hiring a Lawyer for a Speeding Ticket in NY? 

Deciding whether to hire a lawyer for a speeding ticket in New York depends on several factors, including the severity of the offense, potential penalties, and personal circumstances.

Here are some reasons why it might be worth considering:

  • Reduced Penalties: A lawyer can help negotiate to reduce fines, points on your license, or even have the ticket dismissed, which can save you money in the long run.
  • Legal Expertise: Lawyers understand the nuances of traffic laws and can identify any errors or weaknesses in the case against you.
  • Insurance Impact: Reducing or eliminating points on your license can prevent increases in your insurance premiums.
  • Time and Convenience: A lawyer can handle court appearances and paperwork, saving you time and hassle.
  • Serious Consequences: If your speeding ticket is severe or part of a larger issue (like multiple offenses), legal representation can be crucial.

A New York speeding ticket attorney from Martin A. Kron & Associates, P.C. brings a wealth of legal expertise that can be crucial in navigating the complexities of traffic law. They can identify procedural errors, negotiate with prosecutors, and may even get the ticket dismissed or penalties reduced.

Furthermore, if the speeding ticket puts you at risk of license suspension, hiring an experienced speeding attorney becomes even more critical. They can advocate on your behalf to retain your driving privileges. Additionally, a lawyer can save you time and stress by handling court appearances and negotiations, making the process more convenient.

How Many Points Can I Get for Speeding in New York?

While it may seem minor, speeding on New York roads can result in serious legal issues for motorists, regardless of the reasoning.

There are a number of penalties that may be levied on drivers of non-commercial vehicles who are caught exceeding the speed limit, many of which far outweigh a simple slap on the wrist, but the most common penalties are fines and prison time.

    "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.
    Rachel
    "Excellent Service!"
    Once I called Mr. Kron's office, all of my issues were resolved. He took the time to review my case and recommend the best solutions for me; even from a financial perspective. I will recommend him to ANYONE who requests legal aid in his coverage area and will be calling him again if I find myself in another bind.

    "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

    "Honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security"
    I would like to personally thank Mr. Martin Kron for his help in getting a no left turn moving violation dismissed. I had a clean driving record with no moving violation and after speaking with 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. He said he would only do his best and I gave him my case. I was extremely worried because it was an injustice based on the circumstances and Mr. Kron was able to get the moving violation to dismiss and I thank him very much. I recommend Mr. Kron for traffic violations without hesitation, and again I say "Thank You" Mr. Kron.

    "Mr. Kron is wonderful!"
    Mr. Martin A. Kron is a knowledgeable, professional, effective and caring Attorney. And finding this combination is very rare. He treats you like a client, but he also treats you like family. I have gotten speeding tickets in the past and handled them myself. But this was a DWI Ticket (and a careless driving ticket) and I was petrified. I found Mr. Martin Kron, and he was wonderful. He believed what I had to say, he walked me through the process, and he even gave me his cell number and home email so that I could contact him any time I felt scared or confused. The first court date was just to enter the plea. Mr. Kron spoke with the Prosecutor prior to the second court appearance and we were hoping that based on the evidence, the Prosecutor would dismiss the tickets. No such luck. I think the Prosecutor wanted another "win" in his column, and I was going to be it. Mr. Kron presented our case and the Prosecutor presented why he had grounds to proceed to trial. But Mr. Kron professionally stood his ground and the 2 tickets were dismissed that day! I couldn't more highly recommend an attorney! Mr. Kron is wonderful!

    "BEST DEAL IN NYC!!!"
    Had tons of old traffic tickets in NYC. Mr. Kron got them reopened and thrown out. I got emails all the time telling what was going on but I never had to appear.

    "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.

    "SAVED MY LICENSE"
    My lawyer helped save my license from a suspension. If I can't drive I can't work or feed my family. They were always on top of my case and helped me continue to drive for a living. I spoke with all three partners and each one knew about my case and helped each step of the way. Vanessa the manager was so helpful and didn't mind that I called every day.
