Were you stopped for texting while driving in New Paltz?

If you have to go appear in New Paltz traffic court because you have been accused of using a cell phone while driving, attorney George Selby is the one to call, according to the reviews we get. At Selby Legal, we handle all kinds of New Paltz traffic tickets written by state police, as well as town and university police officers and sheriff’s deputies.

The New York law restricting talking on phones while driving was the first passed in the nation, in 2001. Since then, the penalties have been increased and the rules expanded to include texting and other use of electronic devices.

1225 (c) and (d) covers a variety of situations, with most of these violations leading to a fine of up to $293.00 for a guilty plea on the first offense, plus five points. If you choose to exercise your rights and plead not guilty, hiring Selby Legal means that you do not need to go to court yourself to get this resolved. Judges in New Paltz take safety seriously, and having an experienced attorney appear on your behalf can send the message that you are taking this seriously, too.

If you have questions about this or any traffic charges, you can upload your traffic ticket to get a free consultation.
