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.

Understanding The Main Types of Traffic Violations With Our Traffic Violation Attorneys in New Jersey

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 from a traffic violation attorney in New Jersey to protect your rights and potentially mitigate any consequences.

Different Types of Penalties

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a New Jersey Traffic Ticket Affect My Out-of-State License or Insurance?

Yes, New Jersey shares violation records with other states through agreements like the Driver License Compact. If you live out of state, your home state may add points or apply penalties to your record, and insurance carriers may use New Jersey violations to calculate premiums. Address violations promptly to avoid added consequences.

Can I Fight My New Jersey Traffic Ticket Without Appearing in Court?

Depending on your specific case, the court may allow you to have an attorney appear on your behalf or arrange a virtual hearing, especially for minor moving violations. However, for some tickets or at the judge's discretion, your in-person appearance may still be required. Confirm your options with the local municipal court.

How Long Do Points From Traffic Violations Stay on My New Jersey Driving Record?

Points remain on your New Jersey record indefinitely but reduce your total point count for suspension purposes over time—usually three points are subtracted for every year without a violation or suspension. Insurers may review past violations for several years, so keeping a clean record helps limit long-term effects.

  • "Reduced my son's fine considerably."
    My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.

  • "I received invaluable advice on my case."
    I received a ticket for driving with an expired license and thought I'd go to court myself without consulting an attorney. However, last minute, a friend recommended Mr. Kron. Without much notice, I received invaluable advice on my case which spanned both NY and NJ traffic laws. Instead of having my license suspended, I received a minimal fine. I would highly recommend Mr. Kron He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and I'm very grateful I did not go at it alone.

  • "Most impressed by their availability to respond to me."
    I'm glad I choose this lawyer. His professionalism and his ability to follow things up impressed me. There was always someone in the office to respond to my phone calls. Finally, they had my file up to date. I won my case, but beyond everything, I was most impressed by their availability to respond to me. Thanks!

  • "Martin is the perfect person for this job."

    As a former NYS Traffic Law Judge and having previously sat where the Judges before him now sit, Martin is the perfect person for this job. Besides a plethora of experience on and off the bench, he's kind and honest, he listens and is attentive to your concerns, is straightforward and most importantly, gives out reasonable expectations. He always returns phone calls in a timely manner and makes himself accessible even on weekends. And to top it off, he even has a sense of humor. Hope I never have to hire him again, but if the situation arises, he's my go-to guy!

  • "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 didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did."

    I Hired Martin to help resolve 2 tickets I received for improper use of a cellphone. Martin listened to my story and was very honest and said I would lose the case unless I could prove it was a dire emergency. Martin explained how the process worked and that there was no ability to plea the tickets down. He explained points of law and how his firm would represent me in the cases. He did this during a Sunday morning while with his family. I was very impressed with his dedication to my cases. He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did. Very classy.

    By the way, he won the first case for me! Second is pending. But regardless of the outcome, I know he is working hard to represent my case properly. Thanks for everything

  • "I will never deal with another attorney again."

    I experienced a very difficult situation between the states of New York as well as New Jersey where I was potentially facing a 6-month suspension of my license. Aside from the fact that I live 6 hours from New Jersey, I was in dire need of professional expertise to ensure that my situation was handled as well as possible. I spoke with a number of attorney's and decided to hire Martin; and will never deal with another attorney again. Martin was extremely friendly, offered great advice and support and ultimately helped me to have all of the charges thrown out with my case being dropped.

    As we all know, no one can promise or guarantee the same outcome. However, if you want the best chance to receive the best possible outcome, Martin Kron and his team are your only option.
