My Pledge to My Clients

Rockland County Orange County Traffic Court Judge

I have been helping clients with NY traffic and legal issues since 1993. The court system often seems like it is mechanical and does not care about people. It is intimidating and can be confusing to those who do not deal with it every day. The reality is that the legal system is made up of good people who are under pressure to do their jobs well in a system they cannot change. The courts get more and more work every week. The judges, prosecutors,  clerks, and all personnel feel this pressure. I have made a point of getting to know the people who work in the courts, not just the judges and prosecutors. I do my best to empathize with them, deal with them respectfully and pleasantly.​​​​​​​

Over the years, I have earned their respect and goodwill. During this time, colleagues have become prosecutors and judges both in Orange county and NY. There is no direct measure of the goodwill I receive. However, my track record indicates it is accurate. The pledge I make to my clients is as follows. I will listen to your account, review the charges with you and then develop the best strategy for you. Ideally, charges would always be dismissed. The truth is that will not always happen. When it does not, I will adapt my strategy to your situation. You may need to keep points as low as possible, or you may need to keep the fines as low as possible.  No matter your situation, I will always do my best to bring about the advantageous result we can.  On this, you have my word​​​​​​​

    Case Study – traffic ticket for excessive speeding…

    My client received a traffic ticket for going 105 mph in a 55 mph zone and had a ticket for running a stop sign on his license.  He was assigned to one of the toughest traffic ticket judges in NY.  The newspapers had reported the incident, which dramatically increased the possibility of jail time and his license being immediately suspended as the publicity would likely cause the judge to maintain his strict verdicts.  The client faced the embarrassment of a jail record, the inconvenience of losing his driving license, a total of 9 points, a 3-year assessed DMV fee, and a large insurance increase for 3 years.  The client immediately took a defensive driving course.  In the end, the client kept his license and avoided jail time from one of the strictest county traffic courts in NY.

    Case Study – speaking on a cell phone while driving

    My client came to me with a ticket for speaking on a cell phone while driving which carries 5 points in New York.  Attorney Ginsberg handled everything and appeared in court for the client.  Although he does not promise this result in all cases, he was able to negotiate a parking on pavement violation that carries no point.  The parking violation allowed the client to avoid both points and any 3-year insurance increase.  The fine which included all surcharges was $175.   Attorney Ginsberg strongly advised the client to get a blue tooth device and pull over to the side of the road if they needed to text anyone as he was sure a similar ticket in the near future would result in the 5-point ticket being fully enforced

    Myth: Representing Yourself Yields the Same Results as Hiring Experienced Attorneys

    Many people make the mistake of thinking they can handle a traffic ticket without an attorney. The reality is that without legal expertise, you’re far more likely to face higher fines, more points, and longer-term consequences. An experienced traffic ticket lawyer like Steven L. Ginsberg has the skills and knowledge needed to present a solid defense. He understands how to negotiate with prosecutors and present evidence in ways that are beneficial to your case. Self-representation in Chester, NY, often leads to missed opportunities for reducing penalties or even getting charges dismissed. Additionally, in most cases, Attorney Ginsberg will not need you to appear in court * so that you will not miss work or need to pay for someone to watch your children.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click on the questions below to reveal the answers.

    Do you accept credit cards and Zelle?2021-11-30T20:37:36+00:00

    Yes, we do! You can use Zelle or most major credit cards to pay our very competitive fees.

    I received a parking ticket recently. Can I hire you?2021-11-03T22:34:25+00:00

    Sorry again. We do not handle parking tickets.

    I live in another state. Do I need to fight my New York ticket?2021-11-03T22:33:37+00:00

    That depends on many factors. In some cases, the convictions will show on your driving record in your home state. You can call Mr. Ginsberg to discuss the particulars of your case to see if it is worth fighting.

    So once you take my case, do I need to do anything else?2021-11-03T22:32:20+00:00

    In most cases, you can simply wait until the matter has been resolved. We will then contact you and inform you of the resolution, and what fines (if any) you must pay and by what date. Of course, we recommend that while the case is pending, should you receive any communication from the court about your case, you let us know immediately.

    If I hire you, does that mean I will not have to pay any fines?2021-11-03T22:31:40+00:00

    Sorry. Our representation means that we will fight for your rights and obtain the best result we can. In some cases, that may mean a full dismissal. But in most instances, you are still going to be liable for any fines that the court imposes after we resolve your case.

    But I can’t afford to hire an expensive lawyer to handle my case?2021-11-03T22:29:20+00:00

    Try us – you may be surprised! Our rates, which vary depending on the court, nature of the violation and other factors, are quite reasonable

    So how about if I fight my ticket myself?2021-11-03T22:28:38+00:00

    You have every right to do that. But an experienced traffic lawyer can, in many cases, get you a much better result than you would get yourself. Knowledge of the relevant law and court procedure, familiarity with police officers, troopers, and prosecutors, and experience with particular judges are all important factors. A small investment now may save you a lot of money in the long term.

    What’s the big deal of having a traffic conviction?2021-11-03T22:26:27+00:00

    In New York State, a conviction of a moving violation will be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles. They will assess points against your license which may result in a suspension or revocation of your right to drive. You may be assessed a yearly state surcharge that will need to be paid. Also, your auto insurance company may decide to substantially raise your rates. The traffic fine may be just the beginning of a long nightmare.

     

    Can’t I just pay my ticket and not worry about it anymore?2021-12-10T23:40:30+00:00

    Yes, you can plead guilty, and you will be fined by the courts.  But, if you do, it will be treated as a conviction after a full trial and receive the points assigned to the violation, any surcharges and be subject to an insurance increase.

    Why should I choose Steven Ginsberg?2021-10-08T02:10:30+00:00

    While most traffic lawyers are competent, Steven Ginsberg goes the extra mile and applied all of his experience and good will to achieve your  goals

    Do I have to appear in court with my traffic ticket lawyer?2021-11-03T22:37:18+00:00

    Not in most cases. For the majority of traffic violations, your attorney will be able to appear on your behalf and dispose of the matter without you needing to take any time off of your schedule to travel to the traffic court.

    For certain traffic matters, your appearance may be required. If your situation warrants this, we will explain that to you.

    What are the advantages of having a Traffic Lawyer Represent Me?2021-12-10T23:42:11+00:00
