Do you have traffic tickets pending in multiple courts?

It’s not unusual to get tickets that must be answered in more than one court. It can happen over a period of time, but it can also happen on one bad day driving along roads like the Thruway, interstate 84, or the Taconic Parkway. When a driver is faced with this situation, an experienced traffic attorney can help manage the fallout.

As soon as you realize that you are dealing with tickets in multiple traffic courts, it’s important to call Selby Legal for a free consultation. If these are all recent tickets, then it may be possible to avoid a license suspension, even without pleading guilty to the charges.

On the other hand, sometimes these are zombie tickets, coming back long after you forgot about them. When there are big court backlogs, notices to appear in court may get lost in the mail, or get returned because a forwarding order expired. New York City residents sometimes put off dealing with upstate traffic tickets because of the long drive. No matter the reason, if you’ve discovered one surprise ticket, it’s a good idea to take a look at your driving history to see if there are any others.

If there are multiple traffic courts involved, seriously consider hiring experienced traffic attorney George Selby to help you manage it all.
