Getting traffic tickets can be a huge nuisance to drivers. Not only do they require you to pay a huge fine, but they also have the consequence of points added to your license. Points on your license typically results in higher insurance rates. As a driver under twenty-four, getting a traffic violation is one of my worst nightmares. Insurance rates are high enough, receiving a traffic violation may equal no more driving, if points are added. Lucky for many, Weiss & Associates founded by Matthew J. Weiss, specializes in traffic violations. Weiss' attorneys in New York are each allocated to specific locations in which they are versed with local traffic court rules.
However not every situation is arranged with an attorney. In order to decide whether clients should meet with an attorney clients are evaluated. Drivers can view many traffic tips and much more useful information on Weiss' often updated website, New York Traffic Attorney. Weiss tells New York Enterprise Report that he aims to inform and educate his potential customers. They may be able to handle the situation themselves, as he says, "If this helps you, then that's great. But most people, when they start reading and see that it's more involved than they initially thought, often decide to hire us instead."
Perhaps one of the most remarkable features of Weiss' firm is the way it is run. "This model allows me to really work on my business, rather than in my business," says Weiss. "At this point, I look at myself more as a business owner than a lawyer," he says. Wiess has the ability to spend time on marketing efforts. For example, he is consistently doing research on the laws and current situations regarding his area of specialty. He reports this information to viewers on his website, which he says helps him to maintain a high rank on Google's search engine. He is also creating marketing efforts through Facebook and his own online community, NYTrafficCourtDirectory.com.
Weiss will be teaching a live CLE Course at Lawline.com on October 3rd entitled "How to Fight a Traffic Ticket in New York City".

It's about money. Cities and states acrue allot of revenue via tickets and the way to handle this is not to get mad, but to get even. Everyticket you receive is redeamable for one NOT Guilty verdict the next time you serve on a jury. You will never see the other eleven people again and it costs the state a fortune, definitely more than your ticket, to re-try the case. The lost revenue cuts into the raises the police receive and upgrades to equipment required to do the job. When you are on a jury you have more power than anyone else in the courtroom INCLUDING the judge. Use that power.
