What is an Adjournment?

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.

An adjournment means to postpone a court date until a later time.

Why Do Lawyers Request Adjournments?

In traffic cases, lawyers routinely request adjournments to give themselves time to properly handle your defense. Courts liberally grant adjournments for good reason. Common reasons include:

  • To meet or negotiate with the prosecutor.
  • To obtain a necessary document or piece of evidence.
  • To allow the client to complete a required driving course or treatment.
  • Or for other good reasons related to building a strong case.

What Does This Mean for You?

As a traffic client, if we tell you that your case has been adjourned, it means you do not have to worry about the next court date on your ticket.

Important Note: If we requested an adjournment to allow you time to do something (like pulling your driving record or taking a defensive driving course), please see that you do it promptly. While courts have patience, it is not endless!

Thankful I trusted the reviews

Atty Azria is all business, no nonsense. He is highly responsive, excellent at consistent and regular communication, and he and his firm do all the heavy lifting. I’m so glad I trusted the online reviews of others who said if you need a matter handled quickly, efficiently and effectively then Atty Azria is your guy. They were not lying. I called late on a Friday. He answered my call, gave me clear information/instructions/directions, stayed in constant contact with me, and within a week (if that) everything was handled. He even responds to text messages. Impeccable service start to finish. Reasonable and fair fees. I would and will recommend him and his firm to all my friends and family. Thank you, Atty Azria, for making what was a very stressful and concerning situation for me so easily remedied!! I appreciate you!

Mr. Azria is very kind and very professional, I totally recommend it, helped me alot with a ticket I got as a tourist and had troubles because I don't have an USA local address. He is the best for the job, no doubt.

Outstanding Attorney. Nice Guy as well.

Seth and Monica are amazing together working to help me with my ticket in upstate NY. They are very attentive, understanding, and willing to give detailed explanations of the process from start to finish. Great results. Seth puts his clients first, which is an amazing thing in today's world. I will use Seth for any issue in NY.

Mr. Azria is a thorough professional that explained me the complete process up to the dismissal of my case. Shannon in the office is a true gem. The entire process was handled with complete and clear explanation in each email. Highly recommend them for your traffic issues.
