What kind of type your "electric scooter" is must be addressed. Assuming that it's an e-scooter, there is a speed restriction in NYC. If you go above the speed limit, then it can be a violation. You won't need a plate for it. It cannot be registered in NYC, so no license plate... View More 
Could not move my car because, I was in intensive care; at the time, the car needed to be moved for alternate side of the street parking; Hit at the same hour, when the car needed to be moved.

The fact you were unable to physically move your car will probably not be a defense to dismiss the ticket. However, sometimes, a parking ticket is written defectively (missing some info or containing inaccurate description, etc.), which can be a ground for dismissal. Also, you can dispute the... View More

No. Speeding violation is a speeding violation which is a traffic violation. Reckless driving in NY is a criminal offense (misdemeanor). If the officer had intended to issue a summons for Reckless driving, you would have got one independent of the speeding ticket.
Recently got this house, I discovered it was heavily infested with this huge roaches which wasn’t disclosed to us. Do I have a case ? Is the seller responsible or I’m out of luck ?
answered on Nov 16, 2021
Probably no (out of lock) unless you had a specific provision for it in the sales contract designed to survive the closing to hold the Seller responsible for any damage or expenses incurred in connection with the newly discovered infestation.
Seller usually has the obligation in NYS to... View More
What is the fine
answered on Nov 16, 2021
If your son and his friend were charged with § 140.05., then it's a violation, not a criminal offense, but it has a potential jail time if convicted. You should know that the People (State) are obligated to prove every single element of the charge and your son has no duty to disprove anything.

Yes. If the last day falls on a weekend or holiday it extends to the end of the next business day.

Yes. In NJ, a bell or other warning device is required for a bicycle N.J.S.A. 39:4-11.

It's an abandonment charge which is serious. A $200-$500 fine for the first offense and license suspension for 1 year plus, IF CONVICTED. There are various situations where you get this ticket regardless of your intention, i.e. your car broke down, your phone was dead, you walked to the gas... View More

Are you the defendant or plaintiff? More contexts will be needed for a decent answer to your question.
Received a ticket for parking too close to a fire hydrant at 4:48 am which I paid. Then just received a notice for another ticket, which apparently was issued at 8:16 am the same day. I did not receive this ticket and was not even aware of it until today. Do I have to also pay this one?
answered on Nov 15, 2021
I recommend you contact the court first and ensure they are in the court system and these are not the same tickets. If two separate tickets, you should consider whether you contest/dispute the 2nd ticket and speak with the prosecutor (which means you will need to take some time off from work etc... View More
Sent the ticket in immediately. Then was offered a reduction by the DA. I want to withdraw my plea and accept the DAs offer. Where can I find the correct form needed.
answered on Nov 3, 2021
The common route taken in your situation will be filing a motion to vacate with the court which basically asks the court to "undo" your plea to the original charge. In local courts (town courts, village courts, etc), the judge has the discretion to grant (allow) or deny (refuse) the... View More
I got pulled over last week in NYC for seat belt violation the officer printed one ticket and few days later i went online to plea and pay it but i saw two same tickets for same violation and i also received them by mail, that should definitely be an error by dmv, what should i do about it? thanks!
answered on Nov 2, 2021
Seat belt violations in NY can be tricky. If the duplicate tickets are indeed 2 sets of the same ticket (same summons#, same violation sections, same locations, same officer, same issuance time), then there is a chance that they were issued in error, but if not, there maybe a legitimate reason you...

I was unaware I was suspended but that was only due to me not checking my mail in time. I took all the necessary steps to restore everything, but I am concerned about point penalties and my driving privilege being revoked
answered on Oct 25, 2021
Are you restored now? 3-40 is a very serious charge especially if the underlying suspension was due to no insurance. If you have been restored, it can be reduced to a less serious violation relatively easily with a fine (and possible surcharge) only. If not, you may need to get a lawyer and gear... View More

Seatbelt offense can be tricky. It's likely that you get 2 points assessed on your NJ license for the seatbelt offense in NY even though you can get assessed more points if a NY driver in NYS depending on the ages of the parties involved in the offense.

I got pulled over by an unmarked PA State Trooper (the ticket says he was in a marked vehicle). He verbally told me I was going 64 in a 55, then issued me a ticket for 60 in a 55 to "do me a favor" since I otherwise have a clean driving record. In the confidential info section, he tries...

answered on Sep 10, 2021
Assuming that you were going at 64 in 55 and the officer put down 60 in 55, then maybe the officer thought he was indeed cutting you a break, since a speeding for less than 5 mph in PA is generally a no point violation. If you have a PA license, 60 in 55 could be a nice treatment.
However,... View More

You should retain a DWI attorney who knows the personality of the county. Westchester County has a strict policy in terms of when they offer a plea bargain to a lesser charge and what their recommended sentencing may be.

It's a statutory DWI (per se) and DWI based on common law. When you get charged with DWI, you are often charged with both. 1128A is a unsafe lane change violation. I strongly recommend that you retain an experienced attorney since it's a complicated area of law with serious ramification... View More
