If you have been ticketed with a violation of the Vehicle and Traffic Law on the Taconic State Parkway or anywhere else in the town of Milan, New York, one of the 50 upstate towns with the highest fines, our firm can offer you experienced and aggressive traffic ticket representation at an affordable rate of $345.00. If your ticket is somewhere else in New York, our rate will remain extremely competitive. For all traffic violations, our firm can appear in the town of Milan traffic court by affidavit, meaning that you will never need to go to court yourself. You will not need to take off work, get a ride to court, or sit in court for hours.
The Milan court is a unique traffic court. George C. Selby, Esq. attends court there at least 1-2 times per month. The Milan court prosecutors do NOT negotiate tickets on the “pretrial conference” date. If you have a pretrial conference notice, you should call my office PRIOR to the date on that notice, but preferably call an attorney as soon as you receive the ticket. Many people drive very far to attend court in Milan, NY on the date on this notice, only to be told that they need to come back for a trial date. The Milan town prosecutors do NOT offer reductions on tickets UNLESS the officer is present in court on the TRIAL DATE. On your pretrial conference notice from the Milan court, you should see that you can waive the pretrial conference in writing. If you do this, you will be sent a TRIAL DATE. The TRIAL DATE is when you must personally appear, or send your attorney on your behalf. This is not like other courts, where you would instead appear on the pretrial conference date.
Further, this court’s prosecutors and judges are well-known for handing out especially harsh results, and the court has a very skilled, and very tough, prosecutor. The prosecutor for this town is a very nice person and is very concerned with your safety, not the amount of points on your license or the fees you will need to pay. You will likely face the option of many points or trial if you are facing a speeding ticket or other traffic ticket in Milan, New York.

The process
When you receive your traffic ticket, you should respond to it immediately. The best time to call our office is right after you get the ticket so that we can adequately prepare a defense strategy while the events are fresh in your mind, and so we can request important documents from the court and the officer that ticketed you. You may wish to upload your traffic ticket here before calling for your free attorney consultation. When you call us about a traffic matter, we will discuss the possible outcomes of the ticket and the possible ways to resolve it favorably. When we resolve the ticket, you will be provided with a detailed explanation of the result.
"Can you get this dismissed?"
There are many benefits of hiring an experienced traffic attorney for your case. While the vast majority of traffic violations are resolved with a plea of guilty to a reduced charge, there are a few situations where the ticket can be dismissed entirely. Our firm can discuss these situations with you to see if they apply to your case, however many times this can only be determined while in front of the judge. Judges, local prosecutors, and officers can make mistakes, and if you go to court alone you could end up paying for their mistakes as opposed to benefiting from them.
Another benefit of getting George Selby to represent you is knowing when to take the case to trial. Not every traffic charge can be reduced or dismissed. For many traffic matters, a trial may be the best option, especially in situations where the prosecution is not offering a reduced charge plea, and in situations where your license is at risk of being suspended or revoked.
Finally, the presence of an attorney in the courtroom shows that you are taking the matter seriously. The prosecutor and the judge may be more willing to listen to your attorney speak for you about the circumstances of your ticket, your driver's license, and your specific hardships. With an experienced traffic attorney, you will not be judged by your attitude or appearance while in the courtroom, but by the facts and circumstances of your case.
