Will I have to appear in Court?

by Seth Azria on 2/02/2019

No. You will not have to appear in Court for Traffic Infractions

For all traffic infractions; like speeding, cell phone use, passed red light, you will not have to appear in court once you hire us to represent you. 

However, if you are charged with a misdemeanor, for example,  Aggravated Unlicensed Operation, your appearance in court will be required. 

We will let you know if your personal appearance is required. 

Seth is a good lawyer

Seth and his team helped me out with a speeding ticket I got in Cortland. He was professional and courteous. I spoke with him with-in a hour of leaving a message with his office. All future correspondence was via email, but he was available by phone. I worked with one of his staff members as well. My 31 mph over limit (6 pts) was reduced to non-speeding 2 pts fine. I highly recommend Seth and the Azria Law Firm.

My family has consulted with Seth Azria and his team several times over the years and I cannot say enough good things about this firm. They are prompt, courteous and extremely proficient in NYS Traffic Law and I would not hesitate to contact them again should the need arise.
This firm truly cares about the individual and I'm sure I could not find a better legal team anywhere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I live just shy of NYC and got a traffic ticket in this law firms jurisdiction while upstate for a wedding. Traveling several hours north to attend traffic court wasn't something that was possible for me with my hectic work schedule in healthcare. Azria & Bruffett handled my case without me ever having to be physically present and were able to drop my ticket to a small fine with zero points on my liscence. Money well spent.
