Do I have to go to court for a speeding ticket?

by Seth Azria on 6/18/2019

Most Speeding Tickets Require No Appearance 

In Onondaga County and most other counties in Upstate and Central New York, your speeding charge will not require an appearance in court.  We will handle those speeding tickets by mail, email, and fax.

But a Few are Appearance Courts 

However, there are some courts, particularly in the capital region and downstate that require an appearance for every ticket of any kind. But you still won't have to go to court as we can appear on your behalf with a sign waiver. 

Either Way You Won't Have to Go

Either way, you will not have to show up. The difference for you is the amount of the fee. We have to charge more for cases that involve extra attorney time to be in court.

I was gifted with a 80 in a 55 . Being a CDL I could not afford the points that come with that kind of ticket. Long story short ticket was dismissed . Very happy with the result

Excellent experience with this law firm from Syracuse. Mr. Seth Azria Esq. handled my speeding ticket in Watertown, NY with no problem for a reasonable $ 250 fee and saved me a plethora of points and high insurance rates. It was difficult to be a tourist with an out of state license plate on a rental car and not being familiar with local speed traps of 30 mph.... I would use the Azria & Bruffett Law Firm again in a minute if I ever get another ticket in NY. It is especially handy that they will take credit cards over the phone or online. Some firms I checked with required cash and I had already left the state.

The friendly and courteous team at Azria & Bruffett made dealing with my ticket a breeze. I was quickly able to resolve the issue with a defensive driving course (the refresher helped) and I was able to put it behind me to become more mindful on the road.
Thanks again for all of your assistance.

2 Tickets - greatly reduced points

Seth did a fantastic job in reducing both of my tickets. His office was very responsive and professional. I highly recommend him if ever you require a lawyer.
