Did you get pulled over on I-84 in New York?

From Brewster to Port Jervis, interstate 84 has nearly 72 miles in the state of New York. It’s a direct and speedy route between Pennsylvania and Connecticut and, like the Thruway and the Taconic, is patrolled regularly by state police officers.

Troopers take the job seriously, and may pull a driver over for anything from a broken headlight to speeding on the interstate. While many tickets are written during nice weather, it’s possible to get snagged violating the vehicle and traffic law at any time. This can land a driver in court in any of a number of small towns and cities, including Brewster, Crawford, East Fishkill, Fishkill, Greenville, Hamptonburgh, Maybrook, Middletown, Montgomery, New Windsor, Newburgh (or the town of the same name), Port Jervis, Wallkill, and Wawayanda,

While many of these may be unfamiliar names, I go to court in them all. Each court’s judges and prosecutors have different styles and preferences, and if you call for a free consultation about your traffic ticket, I’ll walk you through what I know, and what I think about likely outcomes in your situation.
