Even if you are under the impression that you may have committed a traffic violation, you should still consult an experienced traffic lawyer before making any decisions about what to do next.

A skilled traffic lawyer can examine the details of your traffic stop and help you understand all of your available legal options for fighting the ticket.

I’m Jonathan D. Katz, Esq. and I’ve been helping people fight traffic violations in Wappingers Falls, NY, and throughout Dutchess County for more than 36 years. I appear every day in courtrooms across NY, including Dutchess County, Orange County and Ulster County. I have successfully represented numerous Dutchess County residents, other NY drivers and even out-of-state drivers who were ticketed while passing through New York on their way somewhere else.

I will discuss your charges with the prosecutor and police officer and try to negotiate a favorable resolution to your case so you can avoid the most serious penalties. If the case ends up going to trial, I will fight for you in the courtroom and vigorously defend you against the traffic charges. I can help you fight any NY traffic charge, including:

• Speeding
• High-Speed Tickets
• Driving with a Suspended or Revoked License
• Driving without a License
• Driving without Insurance
• Handheld Cell Phone Tickets
• Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Violations
• DWI / DWAI / DUI
• Running a Red Light

• Plea Deal Negotiations: With over 36 years of experience defending clients against traffic ticket in NY courtrooms, I have developed advanced negotiating skills that often allow me to secure the best possible outcomes for my clients. I will go over every detail of your traffic stop and determine whether the traffic officer violated your legal rights in any way.
  For example, if the police officer lacked probable cause to pull you over in the first place, I may be able to get the charges dismissed. Prior to the start of trial, I will discuss your ticket with the police officer and/or the local prosecutor. If the police officer cited you for multiple moving violations on the same ticket, I may be able to persuade them to merge all of the traffic charges into a single violation.
• Taking the Case to Trial: I understand how important preparation is when it comes time for trial. That’s why so I prepare each and every case with the expectation that it will go to trial. If necessary, I will fight for you in Wappingers Falls Traffic Court, cross-examining witnesses and challenging the prosecution’s evidence so that I can help you beat the charges.
