Traffic Violation Lawyer Nassau County

A Traffic Ticket in Nassau County Can Cost You More Than You Think

Getting pulled over feels like a minor inconvenience — until you see what's actually at stake. In New York, moving violations trigger the state's point system, and accumulating 11 points within 24 months can result in a suspended license. Certain violations carry fines and fees as high as $1,688, automatic license revocation, and civil penalties up to $750. On top of that, points on your record drive up insurance premiums — sometimes for years.

Whether you received a speeding ticket on the Meadowbrook Parkway, a red-light violation near Hempstead Turnpike, or a moving violation processed through Nassau County's Traffic and Parking Violations Agency (TPVA), the consequences extend far beyond the ticket itself.

Can a Moving Violation Lawyer Help with Your Traffic Ticket?

Yes — and the difference between fighting your ticket alone and having an attorney in your corner can be significant. A traffic violation lawyer knows how to challenge the evidence, negotiate with prosecutors, and pursue reduced charges or dismissals. In many cases, clients never have to appear in court at all.

The Law Firm of Michael R. Franzese represents drivers throughout Nassau County, Long Island, and Suffolk County who are facing moving violations, speeding tickets, and other traffic-related charges. Whether your case is heard before the Nassau County TPVA or in a local district court, Attorney Franzese knows the system — from the inside out.

Why Nassau County Drivers Choose Michael R. Franzese

Before becoming a defense attorney, Michael R. Franzese served as an Assistant District Attorney at the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. That prosecutorial background gives him a distinct advantage: he knows exactly how the other side builds its case — and how to dismantle it.

Attorney Franzese's track record in traffic and moving violation cases speaks for itself. One client, Constantine, wrote: "He represented me in a traffic case and got me 0 points — I couldn't be happier with the outcome."

Patrick, whose wife and son both received speeding tickets within the same week, shared: "Even though the tickets were well over the speed limit, he was able to get them knocked down to fines only. We never had to go to court."

On Avvo, the firm holds a perfect 5.0 out of 5.0 rating across 34 client reviews — every single one a five-star rating.

What Does It Cost to Fight a Traffic Ticket?

The cost of hiring a moving violation lawyer Nassau County is often far less than the long-term cost of doing nothing. Accepting a conviction means points, higher insurance premiums, and potential license suspension. Attorney fees are typically a one-time expense — one that can save drivers hundreds or even thousands of dollars over time.
