Traffic Misdemeanors
Please fill out our Intake Form.
Misdemeanor traffic offenses are much more serious than basic infractions. Infractions such as tailgating will result in fines and points on your record and rarely could result in jail time. Misdemeanor traffic offenses can result in fines and even jail time but more importantly can leave you with a permanent criminal record.
The lawyers of Tilem & Campbell, PC have defended many people accused of traffic offenses throughout the New York City area, including the 5 boroughs, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and Westchester County, as well as Larchmont, White Plains, Mamaroneck, Yonkers and more.

- Failure to appear on an appearance ticket

- Aggravated unlicensed operation
We also handle traffic-related felonies, such as driving with a suspended license or operating with a revoked registration. We maintain a full-service New York traffic offense defense practice, assisting people with everything from DWI to speeding.
How We Can Help
If you plead guilty to a misdemeanor traffic violation, the court will not deliberate much about what punishments to give you. You will get the standard fines, points on your license, and possibly jail time, without the opportunity to give your side of the story and possibly get a reduced sentence.
Our attorneys have a history of convincing courts to free our clients from unreasonable penalties. We can negotiate for lesser punishments or challenge charges in court. Often, if you take a misdemeanor traffic violation to trial, police officers may not bother to present enough evidence or even show up to court.
