More Signed Traffic Ticket and DWI Clients

A traffic or DWI client knows exactly where the trouble started: a speeding ticket on the Major Deegan, a cell phone ticket on Northern Boulevard, a DWI arrest at a checkpoint on Sunrise Highway. What they don't know is where it goes next. A moving violation in the five boroughs goes to the DMV's Traffic Violations Bureau, where an administrative law judge hears it. In Nassau it goes to the county's Traffic and Parking Violations Agency in Garden City, in the western Suffolk towns to the county agency in Hauppauge, and on the East End usually to a town or village justice court. A DWI goes to criminal court, often with a separate DMV refusal hearing.

Each venue plays differently. The TVB doesn't plea bargain, so a not guilty plea means a full hearing, while Nassau's agency has a prosecutor discuss reductions with the driver or the lawyer. Points also carry more weight than they did. Since February 16, 2026, the DMV looks back 24 months instead of 18 when it acts against persistent violators, and speeding in a construction zone now carries 8 points. We build pages, ads and intake around the court each driver faces and count the result in signed cases.
