Depending on the particular traffic charges you face, you may be subject to significant penalties if you are convicted of a traffic offense in Rockland County, New York. Many local prosecutors in Rockland County courts take traffic charges very seriously and often seek the most severe punishments. Moreover, local traffic cops in Rockland County often cite drivers for multiple moving violations on the same ticket, resulting in additional points on the driver’s license and enhanced penalties.

It is crucial for you to have a qualified traffic defense lawyer on your side when you contest a traffic ticket. A skilled attorney may be able to get your charges dismissed or downgraded, saving you points on your license and preserving your driving privileges in New York. This is important because too many points on your driver’s license could lead to suspension or revocation of your license. If you accrue 11 or more points within an 18-month period, your license will probably be suspended. Beyond that, a spotty driving record that marks you as a “repeat offender” could lead to revocation of your driver’s license.
