Police officers do make mistakes, especially if they have been on patrol for many hours and are struggling to stay focused on the road. I’m Jonathan D. Katz, Esq. and, as a skilled traffic attorney, I can look over the details of your traffic stop and help you evaluate all your available legal options.

For example, it’s possible that the patrol officer lacked probable cause to stop your vehicle in the first place, or maybe the radar gun used to clock your speed was malfunctioning.
