Analyzing a Traffic Ticket
Written By: Benjamin Goldman, Esq.
Traffic tickets contain a vast amount of information. For the case to proceed, any ticket must meet a certain standard of facial sufficiency. Should the specific ticket fail to do so, an argument for dismissal can be made.
Our attorneys and paralegals analyze many traffic tickets every day. Before any conferences or motions are scheduled, every ticket is scrutinized for facial sufficiency. The Benjamin Goldman Law Office has made successful dismissal arguments for all kinds of errors.
Recently, we got a ticket dismissed due to an incorrect return date in Elizabethtown Town Court. Pursuant to CPL ยง150.10 (1), an appearance ticket must have directives for the defendant to appear in a designated court at a set future time. In our case, the ticket directed the defendant to appear in court on a date which the town court was not scheduled to be in session. This issue was never solved by the issuance of a proper ticket. We were able to successfully argue for dismissal on those points.
