If you face a traffic charge in Poughkeepsie Traffic Court, the case will typically involve the police officer who pulled you over, the prosecutor and the judge. Before the trial begins, I will speak with the police officer and/or the prosecutor and try to reach a favorable plea agreement. I have successfully negotiated positive outcomes to all kinds of traffic offenses:
- Dismissal of traffic charges if the prosecution can’t prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt
- Reduction of charges to a non-moving violation such as improper parking
- Reduced charges to a traffic offense with fewer points
- Multiple tickets merged into a single traffic violation
It is imperative that you speak with an attorney about your traffic violation. Without qualified legal counsel on your side, your chances of avoiding conviction are much worse. You could be subject to points on your driver’s license, suspension or revocation of your license and even jail time. If you accrue too many points on your license, you could lose your driving privileges for a long time.
