In 2013, Governor Andrew Cuomo enacted legislation that increased cell phone violations to a five-point violation. Prior to the review in the law, cell phone violations were a three-point violation.
In light of the increase, many motorists are now actively seeking our highly skilled traffic attorney’s assistance to help them decrease their penalties in Albany City Court. In addition to a 5-point conviction, drivers can be facing a fine payable to the court in excess of $200.00, substantial insurance increases, and a lot of time wasted in court. If the same driver has other convictions on their driving record, they can be facing more than $300.00 in penalty fees to the department of motor vehicles and a license suspension.
