Queens Attorney For Defense Against Cellphone And Portable Electronic Device Tickets

There was a time when cellphone and portable electronic device tickets carried no points and motorists would just plead guilty and pay the fine. That would be a very big mistake today. Each of these violations carries 5 points and, thus, they are considered to be serious violations.

In New York State, drivers who use cellphones without a hands free system, or who hold and use portable electronic devices, are facing 5 (five) points on their driving record, if convicted. Portable electronic devices encompass cellphones, GPS devices, electronic games, laptop computers, etc. The DMV designates any violation that is 5 or more points as a serious driving offense.

Thus, it is extremely important to fight these charges to preserve your license, prevent potential suspensions and to avoid higher insurance premiums. Attorney Randy S. Alpert will thoroughly discuss the violation with you, his strategy and methods to contest the ticket. Additionally, at the hearing, he will evaluate the officer’s testimony and question the officer to see to see if it meets established legal standards. In most instances, Mr. Alpert can represent you in court and it will not be necessary for you to attend the hearing.
