I got a speeding ticket forgoing 88 in a 55. I was wondering how many points it will be and how much it will be ?
What should I do w this traffic ticket in Suffolk County that was 25 over (80 in 55mph);Are there low income helping legal services in NY for traffic tickets, not sure pro bono for something like traffic but not sure of all my options out there. I had a DWI 7 years ago.
Traffic tickets are not eligible for legal aid or a public defender because they are non-criminal in nature
What do you recommend doing with my speed ticket? I live in Toronto, and I was on my way to come back home in Buffalo Hwy 290. A police officer pulled me over for speeding two days ago. He told me that I drove 75mil/hr in the area with maximum speed of 55. Consequently, I have to attend to the court (TONAWANDA TOWN COURT) in Buffalo or send them a mail about that. I have never been in this situation .
If you plead guilty or are found guilty, the violation will appear on your record due to a reciprocity agreement between New York and Ontario. A New York traffic ticket attorney can handle everything and appear in court in your place as necessary.
I was just notified to appear for a speeding ticket from over two years ago. Is that valid? I was given a ticket during Covid for 78 in a 55. I showed up to court on the date I was supposed to, they had everyone there just drop the papers in a box (it was during Covid) and leave. More than 2 years later I receive a letter telling me to show up to town court for a ‘conference’. Is this still valid?
In general, after two years, a ticket should be dismissed on speedy trial grounds. However, the statute of limitations was “tolled” during COVID, so it really depends on the exact timeline.
What can do to fight a 41 mph+ speeding ticket and what are the odds that I won’t get my license revoked. I was traveling on I-87 and a state trooper was hiding under a commercial truck (coke truck) and pulled me over and I was clocked at 96 in a 55 speed limit zone.
Unless there are other things going on, a conviction will result in suspension, not revocation. Either way, few different things can be done to minimize the damage if handled properly

That would be eight points. Maximum possible fine of $693+ $450 Driver Responsibility Assessment Fee. Obviously, your insurance rates will go up. An attorney can go to court in your place and work on getting that reduced or dismissed.
