How to Fight a Traffic Ticket in East Newark, NJ

East Newark, NJ is a small New Jersey borough bordered by Newark, Kearny and Harrison. Although small in size, the traffic tickets the local police issue on a daily basis certainly are not. Let’s start with a very basic truth-you almost always want to fight your East Newark traffic ticket. AND working with an experienced New Jersey traffic attorney represents your best chance in being victorious in this pursuit.

Here are some tips on how you fight your East Newark, NJ traffic ticket:

1. Take notes– whatever the ticket is (speeding, failing to stop at a stop sign, etc), when you are back home and recovered from the intimidating police encounter that lead to the ticket, jot down some notes of the incident as you remember them. If you had a passenger in the car with you, make sure you get their fresh recollection of things as well! Fresh evidence is always the best evidence.

2. Don’t pay it!- Paying your traffic ticket is also an admission of guilt although the state is quick to use different and confusing language so that you don’t totally know that is what you are doing when you are paying the ticket.

3. Call an attorney- More specifically, call the Law Offices of Thomas Carroll Blauvelt before you pay your ticket. Thomas knows how to fight to get you the best results possible and limit the impact a traffic ticket conviction can have on your life.

4. Time is of the essence- As with any legal issue, the clock is ticking when it comes to when you can deal with a ticket. Rather than sit around and stress about the potential fines and other punishments you could be facing, take a moment and pick up the phone and deal with it before it is too late.

As you can see from the list of tips above, when you hire the Law Offices of Thomas Carroll Blauvelt, there is very little work to do on your end when it comes to fighting your traffic ticket. What many people do not realize is the lasting impact a traffic ticket can have on your finances and beyond. For instances, in addition to fines you will also have to deal with three years of surcharges as well as a likely increase in your car insurance premiums. Additionally, a high point traffic ticket may put a driver on automatic license suspension and now have to deal with a whole list of additional issues not the least of which is how to get to and from personal and professional obligations without the ability to drive. Don’t let this happen to you!
