Trucking Violations Attorney

New York City — New York State

If you make a living from your commercial driver's license (CDL), or if you operate a commercial trucking company, you understand the importance of staying on the road and keeping the trucks rolling. As an experienced trucking violations lawyer, Karen Friedman understands the problems that you encounter. She will use her 23 years of trial experience and in-depth knowledge of New York state law to protect your driver’s license, keep the trucks rolling and the fines down.

Karen Friedman understands the problems that bus drivers and truckers have to contend with on today's roads. She represents motorists in a wide range of trucking violation matters, including:

  • DWI
  • Permit violations
  • Off truck route violations
  • Overweight Trucks
  • Speeding, reckless driving, tailgating and unsafe lane changes
  • Equipment Violation

Conviction for off truck route in New York State poses a problem for truckers, as the violation carries a two point penalty on the commercial driver's license. It is essential to check the truck routes before you start out to avoid tickets, but sometimes these tickets just happen. For example, there might be an accident or a one way street that you are detouring around. Suddenly, an officer appears who does not want to listen to your explanation and gives you a ticket. You drive cross country and are unable to return to New York State to defend yourself. Call Karen Friedman.

Overweight summonses can carry a price tag of close to $10,000. It is unfortunate but officers routinely issue several summonses for the same stop, such as overweight registration, overweight consecutive axles, and overweight 3 or more axles. These summonses are expensive and the officer can take the truck out of service, costing the company several thousand dollars.

Karen Friedman can defend the corporation without the driver appearing in court.  The objective is to get the summonses dismissed and keep the fines at a minimum.
