In the eyes of the law you are not guilty just because you have been issued a traffic ticket.  The municipality issuing the violation must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty.

  Not contesting a citation successfully will result in a conviction which can have long-term negative consequences including :

* Points on your license
* Increase in insurance premiums for years to come
* Loss of license
* Loss of job ( for commercial drivers)

  Most individuals seeking to contest a traffic ticket will not resolve the situation to their satisfaction. Unfamiliarity with traffic court, ignorance of the laws and inexperience in detecting flaws in the procedures employed by law enforcement personnel can combine to guarantee your conviction.

  If you are serious about contesting a traffic violation you should retain a lawyer with extensive experience with the following areas :

* Speeding
* Reckless driving
* Red lights
* Stop signs
* Equipment citations
* Insurance or registration violations
* Cell phone violations
* Seat belt violations
* Suspended or invalid license
* Commercial vehicle violations
* Child safety equipment citations
* Driving too slowly


  Richard F. Sweeney is a former City Of Yonkers Judge who has ruled on countless traffic related cases.  He has attained a level of experience in traffic related charges that few attorneys in the state can claim.

  Provided the violation does not involve criminal charges, Mr. Sweeney can appear in court to contest the summons without you even being present, saving you from loss of income from missing work or removing the complications of appearing in court when you have small children.

  Put his dedication, skill, knowledge and experience to work for you.
