Successfully Contesting a Traffic Ticket in NJ

One critical factor in successfully contesting a traffic ticket in New Jersey is understanding the nuances of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) system. Our firm excels in dissecting the details of each case, examining evidence, and identifying procedural errors that could work in your favor. Whether negotiating with prosecutors for reduced charges or representing you in court, we aim to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.

The Main Types of New Jersey Traffic Violations

Two main categories of traffic violations in New Jersey include: 

  • Moving violations: Moving violations refer to offenses that occur while the vehicle is in motion, such as speeding, reckless driving, or running a red light.
  • Fixed violations: Fixed violations include parking tickets, traffic signal violations, and seatbelt or cell phone use while driving.

Regardless of the type of violation, it is important to seek legal representation to protect your rights and potentially mitigate any consequences.

Penalties for Traffic Violations 

The penalties for traffic violations in New Jersey can vary depending on the severity of the offense. These can include the following:

  • Fines: Depending on the violation, fines can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. 
    • Careless driving fines can range from approximately $50 to $200, with two points on your driver's license. 
    • Fines for speeding 1-14 MPH over the limit are about $85 to $95, while speeding 15-29 MPH over the limit can cost $105 to $220. 
    • A reckless driving offense can result in five points on your license. 
    • A DUI carries a $1,000 annual surcharge for three years and other penalties.
  • Points on Your Driver's License: Accumulated points on your driver's license can lead to increased insurance premiums and potential license suspension or revocation.
  • License Suspension or Revocation: The duration of a license suspension or revocation in New Jersey can differ greatly depending on the specific traffic violation involved.

Factors influencing the length of suspension or revocation include the severity of the offense, the driver’s previous driving history, and whether the violation resulted in an accident.

Potential suspension or revocation periods for common traffic violations in New Jersey can include:

  • Driving under the influence (DUI): For a first DUI offense, the suspension period can range from three months to one year. Repeat offenses usually lead to longer suspensions or revocations.
  • Speeding: While a single speeding incident may not automatically result in a suspension, excessive speeding or multiple speeding violations can lead to losing driving privileges.
  • Reckless driving: In New Jersey, a driver's license can be suspended for up to six months for reckless driving.
  • Driving without a license: If you’re driving and have never had a driver's license, you may face a minimum fine of $200, up to 60 days in county jail, and a minimum 180-day suspension on obtaining a license. If your license was previously valid but has expired or been revoked, fines can reach up to $500 and possibly up to 60 days in jail.
  • Accumulating points: Collecting a certain number of points on a license within a specified time frame can trigger a suspension, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean driving record.

  • "Got me a great outcome!!"
    Just found out that my careless driving and my 10 over speed were both dismissed! I was freaked out since I drive commercially and can't have points on my license! I am so happy that the lawyers at MAK were able to take my case and get me a great outcome!!!!! In the past I hired another traffic attorney and all he did was take my money and I still got found guilty. Martin cost a little more but he was well worth it cuz we won!

  • "It's a relief knowing they are on my side."

    I am currently a client of Martin and his firm. They are a hard working firm and have been a pleasure to work with. I have spoken to several of them on the phone (sometimes on the weekend) and they have been nothing short of kind and generous. Their feedback and guidance thru emails and phone calls have been outstanding. It's a relief knowing they are on my side and doing everything they can to restore my driving privileges. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm in helping me is unlike no other firm I have dealt with. I would highly recommend them if you are in any sort of traffic violations.

  • "He kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved."
    Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.

  • "I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything."
    I had 3 cell phone violations within 18 months, which by law subjects me to license suspension. Mr. Kron and I deferred our case 4 times which is the maximum. When we finally decided to plead me guilty, Mr. Kron did everything within his power to reason with the judge for leniency-and he succeeded!! I was found guilty, have to pay a fine, but will be able to keep on driving which is extremely important for me to maintain my lifestyle. Most importantly, during this process, I was a nervous wreck. Mr. Kron was immediate in his responses to my inquiries----almost replying to my texts before I hit send!! I cannot thank this man enough... I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything. He did an absolutely wonderful job for me. One final thought. You know how you read about or see about everything else that works for other people but never works for you? This is a case where this guy was an angel and delivered me the best possible outcome. I am a very lucky man today because of Mr. Kron.

  • "I walked out with my best possible outcome."

    After receiving a ticket for driving in a construction zone, I reached out to Marty who was highly recommended to me. Marty was terrific and clearly laid out all the possible scenarios. Sometimes court can be overwhelming (points, no points, fine, reduced fine, guilty vs not guilty) yet Marty made everything simple and focused on what outcome was most important for me. Due to Marty, I walked in confident and walked out with my best possible outcome

    I hope to not be in court again for any type of traffic violation but Marty will be my first call if I need assistance and anyone else reading this should do the same.
