NY Traffic Defense Frequently Asked Questions

How much will this cost?

The total cost of resolving your tickets will be legal fee plus any fines or fees you may be required to pay. Legal fees vary based on the charges call (315) 364-1155 to inquire about your ticket.

The legal fee does not include the fine imposed by the court for a plea to a reduced charge. The court has the discretion to impose a fine with a certain range.

Will I have to appear in court?

Probably Not.

For traffic infractions, as opposed to misdemeanors, you will not have to appear in court or send in a not guilty plea to the court. We will make this appearance by mail and enter a no guilty plea on your behalf.

How do you know if you have a traffic infraction?


It will be marked on your ticket:




What about the court date listed on my ticket?

After you hire us, you can ignore it.

Once we are retained to represent you, we send a letter to the court to enter a not guilty plea on your behalf and request a postponement, or adjournment, of your case to give us the opportunity to meet with the prosecutor. Courts often reschedule cases for a month or more and we keep track of these dates for you. We will request additional extensions if your case requires it.

How long will this take?

About 6-10 weeks.

Courts and prosecutors vary, but the average is about 6 weeks from the time you hire us to the time we send you a notice from the court regarding the fine or disposition of your case.

There is usually a couple weeks between the time you hire us and the time we meet with the prosecutor. After we inform you of the proposed disposition of your case and you approve, courts usually take a few weeks to process the plea or dismissal. Once we send out your fine notice, most courts allow you about a month to pay the fine.

As soon as you retain the office to represent you, you no longer have to keep track of dates. If your appearance is required in court we will inform you. If, for whatever reason, your case is not resolved and a court date is approaching, we will contact the court for additional time.

How do I hire the office?

Email us or Call (315) 364-1155. Chances are that you will speak to lawyer right away to answer all your questions. Basically, it is as simple as paying the fee and sending the ticket. For most clients, paying the fee with a credit card and then faxing or emailing a scanned copy of the ticket is the most convenient.

We email credit card invoices that you can pay with any major credit card, Paypal, or a bank account. On that invoice you will see our fax number (315) 254-2024, and our email address, [email protected]. Of course, you can also mail the ticket or stop by the office.

Once you pay the fee and send the ticket, we take it from there. We contact the court, pull your NY driving abstract, and meet with the prosecutor. In most cases, you can expect to hear from us after our meeting with the prosecutor. Learn more about what to expect.

Seth is amazing, Azria & Bruffett took a bad situations and made it go away. I highly recommend this Law firm to anyone with a ticket.

Speeding Ticket

I received a speeding ticket doing 80 in a 65 mph zone. I contacted his office, the process was very quick. All contact was by email and very professional. They told you exactly what was going to happen. He got my ticket down to parking on pavement. No points!!! Minimal fine. His fee was very fair, compared to others. I would definitely recommend this firm...

Take it from a Fellow Attorney, Seth Azria is wonderful and gets the job done.

I am an attorney working in the lower Hudson Valley. I had an unfortunate brush with the law on my birthday of all days! which resulted in my receipt of a speeding ticket en-route to a wedding in Buffalo. I'd never had any other infractions on my record and this offense is certainly not an area in which I specialize. I was very upset and worried but immediately upon calling Mr. Azria all of my fears and concerns melted away. Mr. Azria was able to plead my ticket down to a minor violation with no points and a small fee to the Court. Mr. Azria was quick, efficient and responsive. I never had a moment of worry that my case was being neglected. Mr. Azria and his team answered any questions that I had and kept me informed throughout the process. I could not have asked for a better team in my corner and you can't beat the price. You would have thought that I spent a small fortune for the quality of service that I received. Take it from me, Mr. Azria is the attorney you want representing you.
