Experienced Lawyer for Traffic Charges
Union - Middlesex - Somerset County, New Jersey
Municipal charges for traffic offenses are a frequent hassle for both New Jersey residents and out-of-state drivers. Speeding tickets and other traffic charges can result in:
- Fines
- Driver's license suspension or revocation,
- Higher insurance premiums and
- Jail time.
I am Anthony N. Palumbo, a partner at the law firm of Palumbo & Renaud and a former municipal prosecutor with more than 35 years of legal experience. When you need a lawyer to help you with a speeding ticket, reckless driving charge or other traffic offense, contact an experienced Union County, NJ, traffic defense lawyer to schedule a free initial consultation.
Handling All New Jersey Traffic Violations
Charges of driving with a suspended license or with no license at all often arise when the police stop you for something else. Similar circumstances often lead to charges of driving without insurance. New Jersey has among the highest auto insurance rates in the country, but insurance is required by law.
Contact me to fight your New Jersey traffic violation or DWI charge. I will get all the information necessary to defend your case. You may not even have to return to New Jersey.
Other New Jersey traffic and driving offenses I handle include:
- DUI/DWI
- Driving with marijuana or other drugs in the car
- Speeding
- Leaving the scene of an accident (hit and run)
- Eluding an officer or eluding charges
- Running a Red Light
Charges of careless or reckless driving are often brought against people who did not break a specific rule when the police believe they were driving irresponsibly. You may find yourself facing multiple charges after a traffic stop. Often, the municipal prosecutor will be willing to drop some charges if you plead guilty to the others.
Avoiding Points on Your Driving Record
New Jersey has a point system for traffic offenses. If you are convicted of reckless driving, five points will be added to your driving record. Careless driving, on the other hand, carries two points, and some charges carry no points. If you get enough points on your license, it may be suspended, and points can also lead to higher insurance rates.
It may be possible to get your charge downgraded to one that carries fewer points or no points at all. I can help you pursue the best possible outcome to protect your driving record.
I will do whatever I can to avoid or reduce the consequences of a traffic ticket or arrest. Contact me to discuss your traffic charges with an experienced attorney.
