Traffic Offenses

It's easy to shrug off a traffic ticket, but the increasing congestion in our area is leading to a harsh enforcement atmosphere in which even a seemingly minor ticket can have major consequences, including higher insurance rates and unexpectedly harsh penalties. If an accident or alcohol is involved, the risks are much greater.

Even the most minor injury by the other driver or a passenger can lead to expensive litigation and major financial consequences. A ticket for driving under the influence of alcohol can result in loss of driving privileges and even a jail sentence.

Despite this, most drivers go to court unrepresented by counsel. And most are found guilty.

If you have been given a summons by a police officer, or have been involved in an accident, you should make an appointment with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your defense strategy. Stephen A. Gold stands ready to assist you. Click here to contact him.
