That feeling when you get pulled over on the Thruway in New Paltz

If you have to go appear in New Paltz traffic court because a state trooper pulled you over on interstate 87 (the New York State Thruway), 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 police officers and sheriff’s deputies.

Most of the tickets we see given out on the Thruway are for speeding, but a driver can be cited for any vehicle and traffic law violation, as well as some specific Thruway and parkway regulations. Since this is a major highway, many people who get these tickets have never actually been to New Paltz. Hiring an attorney who lives and works there can make all the difference.

1180(d) - speed in restricted highway - can result in a wide variety of fines and points penalties for a guilty plea, depending on how fast you admit to driving and how often you’ve been convicted in the past. 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.
