Defending Individuals' Rights Since 1955
A speeding ticket can cause of lot of headaches and financial loss. A conviction means substantial fines. Speeders also get points on their driving record, which can lead to increased insurance premiums. If a driver has too many points on his/her record, loss of license can result. The number of points on a driver’s record increases the faster the driver was operating the vehicle. The fines also increase as the speed goes up. Speeding can result in two to five points on the driver’s record.
Many of our Bergen County criminal lawyers are former prosecutors or worked for law enforcement agencies before joining our firm. The attorneys at Aiello, Harris, Abate, Law Group, PC, have over 250 years of combined litigation experience defending individuals accused of crimes and offenses, including speeding cases. We challenge the accuracy of the readings, such as radar tests, because the machines weren’t properly inspected or used. Drivers who have exceeded the speed limit on New Jersey Route 17, County Route 503, Bergenline Avenue, or any other Bergen County roadway should consult with our experienced lawyers before considering paying the ticket. There may be defenses. Often, we can negotiate to reduce the offense.
