Fighting Your Traffic Ticket
If you want to contest a ticket, plead not guilty and come to your court date. At the hearing, the Greenburgh prosecutor reviews cases and may offer a plea deal. Westchester County has an active prosecutorial office, and reduced charges are common for first-time offenders with clean records. A speeding ticket might get dropped to a parking violation or a lower-point offense.
You can represent yourself or hire a lawyer. Traffic lawyers in Westchester County deal with the Greenburgh court regularly and know the local process. If you go to trial, the officer must appear and testify. You can cross-examine the officer and present your own evidence. The judge makes the final decision.
The NYS Driver Point System shows how each conviction affects your record. Reducing a charge from a moving to a non-moving violation can save you from points, higher insurance rates, and potential license suspension.
