Syracuse Traffic Lawyer - Driving Suspensions in New York

Existing Driving License Suspensions Terminated Without a Fee

The NYS DMV will terminate all open suspensions for failure to appear issued under NYS VTL Sections 226(3), 227(4) and 510 (4-a), without collection of a suspension termination fee, except for suspensions for failure to appear resulting from violations of VTL 385 or tax law or transportation laws relating to traffic.

Installment Payment Plans for Fines Must be Offered by Courts

Installment payment plans for fines, surcharges and any related fees, including suspension termination fees, imposed for violations of the NYS VTL or other law relating to traffic, must now be offered by the court.

Courts May Waive Any Fine or Surcharge in the Interest of Justice

Courts and hearing officers shall have the discretion, in the interest of justice, to waive any fine and surcharge assessed for violation of the VTL or other laws relating to traffic.

Speeding Tickets x 2

Mr. Bruffet and his office staff handled 2 speeding tickets for me. One was last year and was moved to a non-moving violation and this last one was a significant reduction in points and surcharge. I am so pleased and have provided my healthcare firm with his information as we travel across Upstate NY on a daily basis. Highly recommend.

Pleased with the services provided and the outcome. Thanks Mr. Ralph & Team Azria & Bruffett. I highly recommend them. Thanks.

Thank you Esq. Bruffett!

Attorney David Bruffett and his very professional team helped me handled my speeding ticket (55mph in a 40mph zone) in Town of Manlius. He negotiated a reduction of my 4 point ticket to a 0 point, and a $77+63 fine/fee. I am very thankful for Attorney Bruffett and his team's very professional, courteous, in time correspondences and services. Will recommend him and the firm to anyone who may need their services.

My experience with Seth Azria

I had multiple traffic tickets that included two misdemeanors, speeding, seat belt, expired inspection you name it I had it. Seth was very proficient, effective beyond my expectations, always returned my calls and kept me notified. I know almost nothing related to the law and he was was capable of explaining things in "normal English." I highly recommend him to anyone. On a 5 star scoring system, I rate him as a 10. Thank you Seth.
