New York has a unique split system: the Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) handles tickets in NYC, and traditional local justice courts handle tickets everywhere else. The strategies are completely different — and we know both inside out.
Whether your ticket was issued on the BQE or the Thruway, we have the experience to fight it.
From Manhattan speeding tickets to Long Island cell phone violations, our New York attorneys handle every type of traffic infraction under the NY Vehicle & Traffic Law (VTL).
All NY speed zones. 3 to 11 DMV points depending on speed. School zones carry double fines. We challenge radar, LIDAR calibration, and officer training records.
Red light camera tickets, rolling stops, and intersection violations. 3 DMV points. We challenge camera calibration, signal timing, and signage compliance.
VTL §1225-c (handheld) and §1225-d (texting). 5 DMV points — one of the heaviest point violations. Fines up to $400. We build strong defenses.
VTL §1212 — a misdemeanor in NY. 5 DMV points, fines up to $300, and potential jail time. Criminal record implications. Our attorneys fight aggressively.
VTL §1129-a — tailgating. 4 DMV points. Frequently issued after rear-end collisions. We challenge the officer's observation and measurement methods.
VTL §511 — Aggravated Unlicensed Operation (AUO). Can be a felony. License suspension defense, reinstatement help, and DMV hearing representation.
New York traffic law is governed by the Vehicle & Traffic Law (VTL). How your ticket is handled depends entirely on where it was issued.
The Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) handles tickets issued in all 5 NYC boroughs. The TVB operates under the NY DMV — not the court system. This means no plea bargaining is allowed.
Outside NYC, tickets go to local town and village justice courts. These courts do allow plea bargaining, which often means reduced charges and fewer points.
⚠ Driver Responsibility Assessment (DRA): If you accumulate 6+ points on your NY driving record within 18 months, the DMV charges an additional $300/year for 3 years ($900 total) on top of your fines. This is why fighting every ticket matters.
No hidden fees. No hourly billing. One flat fee covers your entire case — from NYC TVB hearings to upstate court appearances.

Common questions about fighting traffic tickets in New York State.
The Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) is a division of the NY DMV that handles traffic tickets in the 5 boroughs of NYC. Unlike regular courts, the TVB does not allow plea bargaining. You must plead guilty or not guilty and go to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. This makes experienced legal representation critical — your attorney needs specific TVB hearing strategies to win.
Absolutely. We specialize in helping Canadian drivers who receive tickets in New York. NY and Canadian provinces share point and conviction information. A NY conviction can affect your Canadian insurance and driving record. We handle everything so you don't need to return to New York for court or a TVB hearing.
The DRA is an additional surcharge imposed by the NY DMV if you accumulate 6 or more points within 18 months. The base fee is $300 per year for 3 years ($900 total). For each point above 6, you pay an additional $75 per year. This is on top of your fines and insurance increases — making it crucial to fight every ticket.
No. In most cases, our attorney appears on your behalf. For TVB hearings in NYC, your attorney represents you at the hearing. For non-TVB courts outside NYC, our attorney handles all negotiations and court appearances. You typically do not need to be present at all.
If you accumulate 11 or more points within 18 months, the NY DMV will suspend your driver's license. At 6 points, the DRA surcharge kicks in ($300/year for 3 years). Points remain on your record for 18 months from the date of the violation. We fight to reduce or eliminate points to protect your license.
In non-TVB courts (outside NYC), yes — this is very common. Prosecutors frequently reduce speeding tickets to parking violations or other non-moving violations that carry zero points. In NYC TVB courts, this is not possible because plea bargaining is not allowed. Our strategy at the TVB focuses on fighting for a full dismissal or not-guilty finding at the hearing.
