Undoubtedly, one of the most common traffic / driving offense for which persons receive tickets is speeding offenses. Most persons charged with only speeding offenses, however, do not seek legal representation. This is due to the fact that the likelihood of winning such a case is extremely low and that a fine is usually the worst punishment that can occur.  However, if you are under 21 or were ticketed for speeding more than 30 miles over the speed limit, you may still want to consult with one of our Traffic Offense Lawyers to assess your risk of losing your driving privileges. 
Based in Hewlett, New York, our drug possession defense attorneys offer efficient and effective representation.
