Traffic Ticket Lawyer
Understanding the New Jersey Points Schedule
Receiving a ticket while trying to navigate the traffic in East Brunswick, Wall, and Freehold New Jersey is a common problem. Tickets from moving violations add points to your driving record and the severity of the violation dictates how many points you receive on your driving record. Points can range from two points for failure to observe a stop sign, to eight points for leaving the scene of an accident with a personal injury. These can add up quickly, especially for clients with multiple traffic tickets.
A growing point tally leads to higher insurance rates. Accrue enough points and you can lose your driver's license. If you earn your living with a commercial driver's license (CDL), too many traffic tickets can be a career-killer. It is important to find a lawyer who can help you keep your CDL so you can keep your job.

Amazing experience. I had 16 points on 5 tickets but Mr Jeffrey got 3 tickets dismissed and one reduced and walked out of the court with 2 points. I would recommend him to everyone because he know his stuff as he was prosecutor himself too and he is very genuine in prices as well.

Speeding
Getting pulled over for speeding while navigating the traffic of East Brunswick New Jersey can be frustrating. Although a single speeding ticket will likely not have a significant impact on your life, how far over the speed limit you were driving will dictate how many points you will receive.

For driving 25 miles-per-hour over the limit, you will receive a five-point violation. If you receive a traffic ticket at 30 miles-per-hour over the limit, the New Jersey traffic court has the power to immediately revoke your license.

Mr. Goldblatt was referred to me and I'm very fortunate that he was. He did a wonderful job reviewing my case and explaining the various options and likely outcomes. On my court date he successfully negotiated what I truly believe was the best possible outcome.
