Bergen County NJ Traffic Ticket Attorney
Hackensack Traffic Violations Lawyer

If you have a charge for a traffic offense pending in Municipal Court, Herbert & Weiss invite you to contact a traffic violations attorney at our office for a free consultation to learn how we can assist you in handling this matter. We have successfully handled thousands of these cases for our clients.

Traffic citations can have serious negative consequences for both your driver's license and insurance rates. Speaking to an experienced traffic ticket defense attorney  can help you minimize, and often eliminate, the adverse effects of a traffic citation. Herbert & Weiss strives to benefit its clients in the following ways:

• A negotiated reduction of your present offence to minimize or eliminate the consequences of your driving record and insurance rates. 
• Outstanding service and results at reasonable fees.
• The convenience of handling many simple traffic matters by telephone, mail, fax and e-mail.
• Many cases can be handled without your presence in Court.
• We accept payment by Visa or MasterCard for your convenience.

The cost of traffic tickets goes far beyond the original fine. A significant consequence is possibility that your insurance premiums could increase from 25% to 400% after a traffic conviction. Many people just pay the ticket when a knowledgeable attorney, in many cases, is able to save their driving record and keep their insurance rates from increasing. Traffic violations will follow you for years and can also cause increased penalties for any future violations.
A charge of one extra mile per hour on a ticket can be the difference between a fine and the loss of your driver's license. A knowledgeable attorney may be able to save you from this consequence which could necessitate finding alternate transportation to your place of employment as well as many other aspects of your daily life.
