Goshen Speeding Ticket Defense Attorney

New York Traffic Violation Defense Lawyer

At the Law Office of Alan L. Joseph, we know how important traffic violations can be to residents of Goshen, New York, Hudson Valley, Orange County (NY), Sullivan County, Middletown, or Newburgh, NY.  I understand that your good driving records are like money in the bank.

Traffic offenses can lead to fines, penalties, surcharges, higher insurance, suspension or revocation of licenses, and even jail time.  When you receive a traffic ticket, I work hard to ensure that your right to assert your innocence is respected.  I work hard to negotiate lower penalties.  

DUI / DWI / DWAI Defense Attorney

In New York, a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .07% is considered to be evidence that your ability is impaired by alcohol (termed DWAI or driving while ability impaired), which is not a criminal offense, but substantial penalties can be imposed.  However, a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or more is evidence of intoxication (known as DWI, driving while intoxicated, and/or driving with a BAC of .08 or more.), which is considered a criminal charge.  The difference between the two can have a tremendous impact on your lifestyle and your future.

When there is cause for doubt, I am often successful in getting a criminal charge for DUI reduced to a non-criminal charge of DWAI.  And if we can’t negotiate a reasonable disposition, we can litigate to get incorrectly obtained evidence thrown out or convince the jury that mitigating circumstances warrant a change in the charges.

Orange County, NY Speeding Ticket Defense Lawyer

New York residents know that traffic offenses can result in having “points” added to your driver’s license.  For example, a moving violation is 3 points, and getting 6 points or more in one year can add an additional $100 surcharge to the cost of your driver’s license privileges.   This is in addition to any increase in insurance costs that your insurance company may add.  With stakes this high, you need an experienced speeding ticket defense lawyer when you feel you have received a traffic citation unfairly, or you just want help getting the most lenient penalty permissible.

Contact the Law Office of Alan L. Joseph if you need help with a DUI / DWI charge, or a traffic violation citation in the vicinity of Goshen, New York,  Hudson Valley, Middletown, Newburgh, Orange County, or Sullivan County.  Our experience can pay off for you.
