A: Hi,

We have a lot of experience, cleaning up old tickets. Depending on the violation and the location of the court would determine the course of action.

If the ticket is in the 5 boroughs, then typically you can just go online and pay the fine.

However, outside of the 5 boroughs, most violations can still be contested. The advantage is that violations stay on ones record for around 4 years from date of conviction; not violation.
