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.

My family has consulted with Seth Azria and his team several times over the years and I cannot say enough good things about this firm. They are prompt, courteous and extremely proficient in NYS Traffic Law and I would not hesitate to contact them again should the need arise.
This firm truly cares about the individual and I'm sure I could not find a better legal team anywhere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I have retained Mr. Azria on several occasions for traffic violations and each one turned out in my favor 100%. This is the lawyer to hire when involved in any traffic incidents. I have recommended him to many friends and all have had great results. You people have to try this law firm out, you won't be disappointed. Mr. Azria is the true "heavy hitter" here in Syracuse. Thank you so much Mr. Azria, you saved my commercial license from any points, and your fee was more than reasonable.

Justice for Traffic Violations

I was wrongly issued a ticket by a police officer who made a snap decision that was incorrect. I contacted Seth for help. He wanted to know the nature of the violation and my side of the story. He then told me to sit back as he would take on the matter for me. He updated me regularly as he communicated with the court, and eventually resolved the matter for me. His fee was reasonable and the results were excellent. I highly recommend him.
