What's Actually at Stake

A traffic ticket feels like a minor inconvenience. Until you see what happens next. In New York, accumulating 11 or more DMV points within 24 months can trigger a license suspension. A single serious violation can put you halfway there.

Beyond points, insurance premiums can increase for 3–5 years after a moving violation. Over time, that costs far more than the original fine. Young drivers and those with clean records stand to lose the most.

Contesting a ticket with professional representation gives you options that paying it outright does not, and in many cases, you don't have to take a single day off work to make it happen.

Why Fight Your Ticket?

When you contest a ticket, you may be able to protect your license, your insurance rate, and your time. Here's what's at stake.

  • Lower Fines

    We negotiate with prosecutors to pursue reduced charges, lower fines, and fewer points. The goal is always the best available outcome for your specific case.

  • Prevent Points

    Points accumulate over a 24-month window, and accumulating 11 points within that window can trigger a suspension of your license. Separately, 6 or more points within 18 months triggers a Driver Responsibility Assessment on top of your court fine. We work to reduce or eliminate the points at stake.

  • Protect Your Insurance

    Moving violations can raise your premiums for 3–5 years. Fighting your ticket can prevent that.

  • Skip Court

    In most cases we appear on your behalf. No time off work, no stress, no courtroom anxiety.

  • Reinstate Your License

    If your license has already been suspended, we work toward getting your driving privileges restored.

  • Save Time

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to appear in court?
In most cases, no. We appear on your behalf in Suffolk and Nassau County courts. You can go about your day while we handle the legal process.
What if I just pay the ticket?
Paying a ticket is the same as pleading guilty. The conviction goes on your driving record and points are applied based on the date of the violation, not the date you paid. Accumulating 11 points within 24 months can trigger a license suspension, and separately, 6 or more points within 18 months triggers a Driver Responsibility Assessment on top of your court fine. Convictions on your record can also mean higher insurance premiums for years. Nothing appears on your license until your case is resolved, which is another reason not to pay before speaking with an attorney.
How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
We charge a flat retainer fee with no hidden costs. The exact amount depends on the violation type; contact us or submit your ticket for a quote. In many cases, our fee costs less than a single year of increased insurance premiums.
How quickly can you start working on my case?
We begin working on your case immediately. Our first step is notifying the court that we represent you. How long it takes to reach a resolution depends on the court's calendar and scheduling, which varies by courthouse. Nothing appears on your license and no fines are due until your case is fully resolved.
How many points is a speeding ticket in New York?
In New York, speeding ticket points depend on how far over the limit you were driving. Speeding 1 to 10 mph over the limit carries 3 points; 11 to 20 mph over is 4 points; 21 to 30 mph over is 6 points; 31 to 40 mph over is 8 points; and more than 40 mph over the limit carries 11 points. Points accumulate over a 24-month period from the date of each violation.
What happens if I get 6 or more points on my NY license?
If you accumulate 6 or more points on your New York license within 18 months, you are required to pay a Driver Responsibility Assessment to the DMV at $100 per year for 3 years, plus $25 per year for each point above 6. Accumulating enough points within 24 months can also trigger a license suspension. An attorney can work to reduce or eliminate points before they accumulate.
Do I have to go to court for a traffic ticket in Suffolk County?
In most cases, no. When you hire My Ticket Fairy, Attorney Jennifer Zeidner appears in court on your behalf. Tickets from the five western towns (Babylon, Brookhaven, Huntington, Islip, and Smithtown) generally go to the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency in Hauppauge. The eastern towns of East Hampton, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Southampton, and Southold use their own town courts, and some incorporated villages keep their own village courts. You typically only need to appear if your case goes to trial, which is uncommon.
Do I have to go to court for a traffic ticket in Nassau County?
In most cases, no. Tickets from the unincorporated parts of Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay, and from county roads and parkways outside village limits, generally go to the Nassau County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency in Garden City. Tickets written inside an incorporated village usually go to that village court, and Glen Cove and Long Beach have city courts. When you hire My Ticket Fairy, Attorney Jennifer Zeidner handles all court appearances on your behalf in most cases.
How much does a traffic ticket attorney cost on Long Island?
My Ticket Fairy charges a flat retainer fee with no hidden costs. The exact fee depends on the violation type. In many cases the cost of legal representation is less than a single year of increased insurance premiums from a conviction. Contact us or submit your ticket for a specific quote.
What is a Driver Responsibility Assessment in New York?
A Driver Responsibility Assessment is an annual fee charged by the New York DMV separate from any court fines. It applies when you accumulate 6 or more points within 18 months, or are convicted of certain alcohol or drug-related violations. The base assessment is $300 paid over 3 years. Fighting your ticket with an attorney can help you avoid triggering the assessment entirely.
