Frequently asked
Direct answers from the attorney who handles these matters.
Most asked
You generally must answer the ticket in the town or village court that issued it, even if you live far away. In many of these courts an attorney can appear for you, so you do not have to travel back for each date.
Question 2
Many Upstate justice courts allow negotiated pleas, which can reduce a moving violation to a lower charge with fewer or no points. Availability depends on the court, the prosecutor, and your driving record.
