My Pledge to My Clients
I have been helping clients with 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. 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

Why do I need a Lawyer For A Traffic Ticket Matter When I Have A CDL?
If you have a moving violation and are considering hiring a traffic lawyer in N Y, especially Rockland or Orange Counties, you’ve come to the right website.
You may ask why you would need a traffic ticket lawyer…. Can’t you just do it yourself? When it comes to commercial driver’s licenses the stakes are much higher and the judges are not easily persuaded… Your license and job are on the line. With your livelihood at risk, you need an attorney who has deep experience in CDL issues and a carefully considered strategy to help you keep your CDL and your job. This is a very common thought, and you may be able to negotiate a deal by yourself. However, are you giving yourself the best odds? Are you getting the best results in your specific situation? Before you choose to “do-it-yourself,” you should ask yourself a few questions that are listed below…
Five Reasons You Need
To Hire A Traffic Lawyer
- Do you have a full understanding of New York State traffic laws and how they can affect you?
- Have you built up years of goodwill, trust and positive relationships with the prosecutors, police officers, court clerks and judges?
- Do you stand to benefit from hiring someone with more than 25 years of legal experience who will plan a legal strategy that is carefully designed to handle your traffic tickets and (where appropriate) negotiate an agreement for the best outcome for your particular circumstances (fines, points, effects on insurance rates, the ability to keep your license and more).
Five Reasons Continued…
- What is your time worth? If court is canceled or your case is not heard, you might spend many more hours than you planned and still not resolve your case, let along obtain the best deal available. Schedules vary greatly – many traffic courts have sessions in the middle of a workday. Hiring a traffic lawyer will potentially save you time in that you will not have to take time off from work.
- What is it worth to turn over all of the aggravation, worry and stress to an experienced attorney and be able to relax knowing that you are in good hands and that the matter will be negotiated as favorably as possible?

Myth – Representing yourself yields the same results as hiring an Experienced Traffic Ticket Lawyer
There are times when an individual can have a lenient judge and receive the same amount of points as if a traffic ticket lawyer represented them. This is rarely the case when it comes to a ticket with a commercial driver’s license. With the consequences of a violation including the possible loss of your license and job, the smart move is to get an attorney with deep experience in defending violations against commercial drivers. Additionally, no citizen knows all of the judges in Rockland and Orange Counties. An experienced CDL ticket attorney will listen to your situation and then focus on having the ticket thrown out. If that is impossible a lawyer like Attorney Ginsberg will focus on saving your license and job and then look to save money, points and hassles. Finally, you will need a lawyer, like Steven Ginsberg, who has cultivated years of good relationships with all of the court personnel and will leverage this goodwill to your advantage myth busted!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we do! You can use Zelle or most major credit cards to pay our very competitive fees.
Sorry again. We do not handle parking tickets.
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.
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.
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.
Try us – you may be surprised! Our rates, which vary depending on the court, nature of the violation and other factors, are quite reasonable
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
