Have 4 Speeding Tickets - First Offenses, Need Help. (Ny)

[beigmatt]

My question involves traffic court in the State of: New York

I have 4 "pre-trial hearings" over the course of the next month. I would really like to know how I should best approach the situation to reduce possible consequences.

In one town:
7/11 - 64/45 Speeding

In another town:
8/1 - Disobeyed traffic device
8/2 - 85/65
8/2 -71/55

I have zero record of any tickets before this. Here is the thing though, 3/4 tickets are from a year ago, and I have not had a ticket in more then 6 months. Whats the best way to approach the court with the difference in conference dates to ensure minimal trouble? Deal with them at once with a lawyer? Hope they all get reduced individually? I don't speed anymore and have a clean record the past 6+ months can that help at all? I am a new driver as well (2-3 years) and I don't plan on getting cought speeding anytime soon.

I suggest you retain an attorney.
If you don't, you going to pay huge fines, get higher insurance rates, and probably get your license SUSPENDED.

Why give the state your money and end up losing your license?

Hire a lawyer with the money, and you'll get some tickets kicked, paying a lower fine.

Discuss your situation with a couple attorneys. The initial meeting is free.

Then hire the best one.

Six months is not a very long time. I don't think anyone would be very persuaded by that.
You are looking at some significant fines plus points on your license that will make your insurance skyrocket. I don't see you finding a way out of this that doesn't hurt. You can't lump 4 incidents together and call them a first offense. You are dealing with 4 offenses.
Depending on your state laws you might even get a suspension of your license.

The only abormal thing is that they are from a year ago. The past year while these have been pending I have been driving without any issues, as much as 800 miles a week usually. I work full time. These are a year ago, It stinks that my license could just be suspended like that. I feel like it doesn't really solve anything for anybody. I am a really good above average driver, the road is cake,. I am a first time offender (this is my first time going to court)... I just think I would be on the unfortunate side of things if I get a suspension with my good record after those a year ago. Oh well :/

Your having delayed court for a year is not likely to benefit you. An above average driver would not have gotten all these citations, especially so close.
You might have some success getting them reduced, but you should be prepared to open your wallet nice and wide.
