Did you get a ticket in New Paltz for a suspended license?

If you have to go appear in New Paltz traffic court because a police officer found out that your license is currently suspended, 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.

There are many reasons why a license may be suspended, but the most common one if failure to answer a traffic court summons. That original ticket could be returnable to any New York traffic court, which means you may have to go back to that court, and also deal with a ticket for driving with a suspended license that was written in New Paltz.

Many people find out about a suspension when they try to renew a license, or they get a notice in the mail. Sometimes, a license can be suspended years after the original ticket was issued, but if you find out in one of these ways you can usually contact the clerk to get a new court date, and then get the suspension lifted by paying a fee. It can be much worse if you find out because you were pulled over.

511 - aggravated unlicensed operation - is a misdemeanor with penalties starting at a $293.00 fine and with the potential for 30 days in jail for a guilty plea. 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.
