- Pre-Trial Negotiating: I will begin my defense of you by investigating the circumstances of your traffic stop in an effort to develop an advanced defense strategy. Prior to trial, I will discuss your case with the traffic cop who ticketed you and/or the local prosecutor at Fishkill Village Traffic Court. If the police officer made any mistakes, such as a procedural error, before, during or after the initial traffic stop, I will try to persuade them to drop the charges against you. Even if no mistakes were made in your traffic case, I will fight to get your charges reduced to a non-moving violation such as improper parking, which will allow you to avoid points on your license. In the event that the patrol officer wrote you up for multiple violations on the same ticket, I will attempt to get the traffic charges merged into a single traffic offense.

Even if your case does not ultimately go to trial, my advanced preparation gives me a major advantage when I negotiate with the prosecutor and police officer.
