Traffic Charges

Keep Your License Valid Following a Traffic Ticket

Few attorneys in Orange County have the experience that lawyer Robert A. Ladanyi has in defending people against traffic charges. Especially if you have a commercial driver's license (CDL), the revocation or suspension of your driving privileges is overwhelming. Our firm handles both the criminal and civil aspects of a traffic ticket. Contact us today for a free initial consultation about your options.

Traffic Ticket Effects on a CDL

A license suspension or revocation is particularly devastating to someone with a commercial driver's license. When truck drivers lose their driving privileges it is not only an inconvenience, it affects their livelihood. State and federal laws and regulations of CDL are becoming stricter. With growing enforcement of trucking laws, comes an increased risk of losing your CDL.

Often times over-the-road truck drivers inadvertently get traffic tickets. The federal government imposes minimum standards relating to trucking. Each state has the ability to expand on those rules slightly. What may be legal in Texas may be illegal in New York. Our firm represents both in-state and out of state truck drivers who face the possible suspension or revocation of their license following a traffic charge.

New York's Drivers License Point System

Under New York law, for each traffic ticket you get, a certain number of points are levied against your drivers license. Your license will be suspended if you get eleven points against your license within three years. You can get points for traffic tickets involving speeding, reckless driving, running a stoplight, and any other moving violation.

It is important to know that you have the right to challenge a speeding ticket. Too many lawyers advise clients to plead guilty. You can count on us to find a defense to a traffic charge. If you want someone to fight for you, hire us.
