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.

    "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.

    "Good communication the entire time."
    I am an idiot and got a ticket for doing 90 in a 40 in Manhattan. Martin and his people were very helpful throughout the process, keeping good communication with me the entire time. Just got word that the ticket was dismissed. THANKS MARTIN!

    "Most impressed by their availability to respond to me."
    I'm glad I choose this lawyer. His professionalism and his ability to follow things up impressed me. There was always someone in the office to respond to my phone calls. Finally, they had my file up to date. I won my case, but beyond everything, I was most impressed by their availability to respond to me. Thanks!

    "If you need an Ace in the hole, he's your man!"
    Mr. Kron was on top of my case like an eagle in the treetops and kept me informed the entire time of every change as well as every possible outcome. His attention to detail, professionalism, and demeanor is UNMATCHED.

    "Attentive, grade A service"

    I recently retained Martin and his son Dan to handle a DUI for me as I was incredibly worried that one big mistake was going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I called multiple attorneys and though their fee was by no means the lowest it came in right around the middle of all the quotes I had received. What I felt I got from them was attentive and grade A service though. From the beginning, Dan was very reassuring and set me at ease. We discussed my case and came up with a plan for how we would proceed. Over the course of the multiple appearances that I had to make he was always there at the right time, saying the right thing, and in general acting like he had my back. In addition, whenever I called the office for updates his assistant was super helpful and whenever I spoke to him or Martin, they were super generous with their time. In the end, they obtained as good an outcome as I could have ever wished for! I am very grateful to all their hard work and the professional and friendly demeanor they maintained through this entire travail. I cannot recommend them enough!

    "No fine and no points on my license!"
    Martin is an excellent lawyer. I had a hearing for a cell phone ticket that I forgot about. I called him 1 day before and Martin attended the hearing the following day in my absence and got me a No Guilty Fee! Resulting in no fine and more importantly - no points on my license!
    John
    "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.
