Call Now 800-893-9645How to Fight a Speeding Ticket in Parishville Town

The Town of Parishville lies partially inside Adirondack State Park, alongside the St. Regis and Raquette Rivers, and covers more than 101 square miles in St. Lawrence County. Joe Indian Pond, and the Lake Falls and Rainbow Falls Reservoirs are all in the greater area of town, which has a population of 2,153 (2010 U.S. Census). The area is served by NY State Routes 56 and 72, on which many drivers are pulled over daily for speeding violations.

Further complicating things are the frequently changing topography with the rolling hills and rapidly changing speed limits. Unless a driver keeps an uber vigilant eye on their speedometer, they could be prone to being tagged with a costly traffic summons.

If you have received a speeding ticket that is returnable to Parishville Town Court, then give our experienced attorneys a call today for a consultation. Our attonreys can be reached at 800-893-9645.

Important: It is important to remember pleading guilty to a speeding ticket can result in many long term financial consequences. Not only do points get added onto your license, but there are high fines and fees that must be paid, and an increase in your insurance which can cost a lot of money.

Getting the Legal Advantage

In today's world of increased costs, a conviction can costs you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in insurance increases and court costs. The repercussions can follow you for years to come.

In order to defend yourself against a traffic matter, a personal appearance is required. A personal appearance in court may be avoided by hiring our law firm.

Our team of attorneys is lead by former NYC prosecutor, Mr. Villanueva. Having Mr. Villanueva on your side gives you a unique advantage of analyzing your case from the perspective of the defense attorney as well as the prosecutor.
