Words, in the form of sworn testimony, are evidence and therefore can prove a speeding or any other charge.

Stop Signs: What, Where and Who

Stop sign tickets are 3 points with a fine and surcharge up to $243. All drivers must stop, but not those acting involuntarily.

Seat Belts Tickets: Officer Observation and Testimony is Enough

An officer observing a failure to use a seat belt is enough to stop a car. To be convicted, that officer just has to testify about what he saw.

Flashing High Beams OK, Leaving Them On is Not

Flashing high beam headlights, alone, is not a violation of the law requiring dimming of headlights.

My daughter who is a graduate student, was involved in a vehicle accident which left her very shaken. To top it off, she was also issued a ticket. Mr. Azria handled my daughter’s case in a very professional manner and kept both of us informed every step of the way. My daughter’s ticket was reduced to no points, without her ever having to physically go to court. Mr. Azria’s compassion and expertise made all the difference during a very stressful time for my daughter. Thank you, Mr. Azria!

I want to thank the judge and my lawyer for getting my ticket dismissed. my mentally handicapped son called me and i was worried and answered my phone as many times the police have had to respond to his home. I explained it to a policeman when i was pulled over that i thought it was an emergency and hung up immediately when it wasn't. i received a ticket from the police which i plead not guilty to because i have a clean unblemished driving record and i'm 62. thankfully it was dismissed. i strongly recommend this lawyer firm it real was a mess without them.
