Traffic Violations

Don't just pay the ticket. Fight it.

A traffic ticket might seem minor, but the consequences add up fast — points on your license, increased insurance premiums for years, and potential license suspension. Attorney Scott Cerio fights traffic violations in Syracuse and Central New York courts to protect your driving record and your wallet.

Many drivers simply pay the fine without realizing they're pleading guilty to a moving violation. That guilty plea goes on your record, adds points to your license, and triggers insurance premium increases that often cost far more than the original fine.

Attorney Cerio regularly negotiates traffic violations down to reduced charges or dismissals. The legal fee for fighting a ticket often pays for itself many times over in avoided insurance increases alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many points will suspend my license in New York?

Accumulating 11 or more points within an 18-month period will result in license suspension in New York. A single speeding ticket can carry 3 to 11 points depending on how far over the limit. Attorney Cerio helps keep points off your record.

Is it worth hiring a lawyer for a traffic ticket?

In most cases, yes. A speeding conviction adds points to your license and increases insurance rates for 3-5 years. Those increased premiums often total thousands of dollars. Attorney Cerio regularly reduces or dismisses traffic charges, saving clients far more than the legal fee.
