Traffic Tickets Attorney

New York City — New York State

If you receive a ticket in New York State and you want to contest it, your chances of success are better with a lawyer. For the last 23 years, Karen Friedman has represented motorists, and trucking corporations in traffic and criminally related misdemeanors.

Karen Friedman assists clients with a broad range of matters including speeding, running a red light, improper passing of a stopped school bus, reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.

In New York State, penalties for moving violations can include:

  • Suspension if you receive 11 or more points in an 18-month period
  • Revocation if you receive three speeding tickets in an 18-month period
  • Loss of drivers license for one year if you are convicted of driving without insurance

Points and suspensions can result in an increase in your car insurance rates and limit your privilege to drive for work and pleasure.

Under a recent New York State law, troopers are not permitted to plea bargain traffic matters. Some courts have town attorneys or prosecutors who can plea bargain a trooper case. If the court does not have a town attorney or prosecutor, a motorist must either plead guilty or go to trial. A similar law has been in effect in New York City since 1970 when the prosecution of traffic violations was removed from the Criminal Court system. 

Karen Friedman has been trying traffic cases since 1984. She is willing to travel as far north as the Canadian border and several hours west to fight traffic and criminally related traffic summonses.  Ms. Friedman has represented many clients who have been ticketed in towns near the New York State Thruway and the Taconic State Parkway.
