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.

Super efficient process with outstanding results. I received regular updates via email with clear instructions and expectations. Best of all, the results exceeded expectations - great reduction in my fine for speeding with zero points.

Thanks Seth and Team - you are great!

Yelp Review

As a a 60 year old physician I am semi-retired and my wife and I travel the country to do work in my specialty at places that are shorthanded. Since I only work about 1/3 of the year we have time to drive to these places. Recently I was stopped on a highway in NY. I haven't had a speeding ticket since I was in my twenties. The officer said I was doing 81 in a 65 MPH zone (my reading 76 while trying to pass a slow moving vehicle with a line of cars behind me trying to get by me as well). I read the reviews and chose Attorney Azria.

The office staff was pleasant and efficient, and put me right through to Attorney Azria. He explained the process with perfect clarity and went to work. Although he explained the process could take 4-6 weeks he resolved the issue in 10 days, reducing the violation to a non-moving violation with a small fee and no points. His price was more than fair.

I've been lucky enough as a physician to have never been sued but doctors by nature do not have an affinity for lawyers. However, if you find yourself in need of one, it is hard to imagine someone better at their job than Attorney Azria. Thank you sir. If I could give you 6 stars out of 5 I would.

Took care of business

I needed an expert to help me navigate a speeding ticket in the courts. I was from out of town and Seth was great at explaining the options. I left it in his hands and he was able to negotiate and took care of whatever was necessary. He made it extremely easy and I was happy with the results. Highly recommended.

These guys did a great job reducing my speeding ticket to a no point muffler violation. All I can say is "Wow!"
