With experience serving the public as an Assistant District Attorney, prosecuting minor traffic infractions and serious felony offenses, as public defender, providing legal representation to defendants with respect to both misdemeanor and felony accusations, as attorney for both petitioners, respondents, as well as an attorney for the child(ren), in Family Court and before local child and spousal support magistrates, and as a civil attorney representing clients in various forms of civil litigation, I am proud to announce that I have established my own office in Monticello, New York, dedicated to providing quality legal representation to the community I have been serving since 2006.
Many people go through the unnerving experience of being pulled over on the roadway by a police officer. It may seem like a relatively minor inconvenience - you'll just pay the ticket and get on with your life. The vast majority of those charged with speeding do just that and later realize that their car insurance rates increased.
Seeing a police cruiser's lights flash on behind you can make your heart sink, but if you're seeing this when you've just left an event where you consumed alcohol, it's even worse. First you might wonder if you're actually intoxicated, and then you'll probably proceed to panic. When you find yourself facing DUI charges, an experienced New York DUI defense attorney can help.
This is information regarding you and your vehicle. Name, Address, Date of Birth, Drivers License Number, Licensing State, Type Year Make and Vehicle Color and Registration Information. A minor mistake in this section is not going to get your ticket dismissed because of a clerical error. This is the charge against you.
Few, if any, one-size-fits-all defenses exist when you're accused of a crime. Every case is different- with different variables, circumstances, and facts. In each case, however, the state has a double burden of proof: The prosecutor must establish that a crime did, in fact, occur, and he/she must prove that you acted with the intent to commit the crime.

Responds in a very timely fashion. Very professional and very understanding. It was my first ticket and he helped me through the whole process. Sent a picture of my ticket notary and paid, 2 months later get the results and he was able to bring down my ticket with points to a non moving violation with no points. If you took the time to read this all the way thru i would highly reccomend you go to his website or give him a call or email. You wont be disappointed.

I was in need of hiring an attorney being from Long Island and getting a speeding ticket in Upstate NY near Monticello on Rte 17. I was inclined to just pay the potential fine and plead guilty, however after speaking to a friend of mine who is in law-enforcement advise me to see the advice of an attorney that represented people up there I did a search on local attorneys that handled traffic violations. I did some research and found the office of Scott Russell and was greeted by a very professional staff before speaking with Scott himself who address my situation and concerns and a very professional

I had a great experience working with Scott. He's patient and listened to me explain my situation I needed legal help with. I provided him the information he requested and he quickly responded with advice and even pointed out a clerical error on my traffic ticket made by law enforcement. I would recommend Scott, he's very responsive, professional, attentive, and helpful.

Very helpful and immediately responsive. During a situation that was pretty stressful for me, he immediately assured me all will be well. I was able to reach out whenever I had any questions and he promptly responded. He has been great and will highly recommend him to others ever in need! He saved me from many headaches and having to drive out there for court dates that would have been many days off work and at least a 3 hr drive each way every time! Thanks so much For everything!!

Great experience with Scott Russell! He actually came recommended by another lawyer in the area and he did not disappoint. Kept me updated on the case, answered all my questions, and got me out of a lot of points. I'm so thankful for finding him because I would have been completely lost without his guidance on the situation.

Scott is great lawyer. I had a speeding tickets from up-state New York many years ago. I didn't know that my license was suspended in the state of New York until I receive my second speeding ticket. Since I am living in California, it is impossible for me to appear in court in person. Scott took care of my cases, and plead on my behalf. Not only has he helped me to reverse the charge of driving with a suspended license. He also help me to plead and reduce the points from 6 to 2. Overall a very pleasant experience.
