Traffic tickets are extremely common. Most people at some point will be pulled over for speeding or some other traffic-related violation. You may not think it is necessary to work with an attorney after a traffic violation, but moving violations can result in your car insurance automatically going up and points going on your driving record.

My name is Kenneth C. Hyland and I help people who are facing traffic violations in the Rochester area of Upstate New York. Some of the common charges that my clients come see me about are:

How traffic tickets are handled in the courts varies depending on the jurisdiction. In Rochester, there is an administrative court called the Traffic Adjudication Bureau that handles all traffic charges. It is important to be represented by a lawyer so that you understand what options are available to you and to have someone standing up for your rights. I work with clients to see if there are opportunities to reduce the charge down to a less serious charge. I also can appear in traffic court for clients who are from out of state and were charged with a traffic tickets in the Rochester area.
If you are facing traffic court for a moving violation, please contact my law office to work personally with an experienced criminal lawyer.
