traffic ticket

You are zooming down Route 1 north in West Windsor. Music blaring. Sunroof open. Wind in your hair. And surprisingly no traffic to slow you down. Suddenly, you notice red lights flashing in your rear-view mirror of a New Jersey police car. The law enforcement officer pulls you over and writes you a ticket for speeding.

A traffic ticket in West Windsor is not a simple matter. Paying the ticket does not make it disappear. The NJ DMV puts points on your license for most traffic violations, and receiving more than two tickets can result in the possible loss of your license, depending on the number of points.

Have you received a traffic ticket in West Windsor or the surrounding area? If so, you should consider retaining counsel. Traffic Tickets are often far more complicated than simply washing your hands of the ordeal by sending in the payment amount provided on the ticket. This is because the consequences usually extend beyond the fine amount.

Depending on your driver’s history and the gravity of the offense committed, a guilty verdict may result in surcharges, points on your license, increased insurance premiums, and even suspension of your license or jail time. It is important to take the time to find out exactly what you are dealing with, and how this ticket may affect your life.

Fortunately for you, The Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C. is happy to help. We offer all prospective traffic clients an entirely free consultation. Please, call today to schedule a consultation with one of our traffic attorneys.
