Services
A speeding ticket conviction in New York is very likely to appear on your Canadian driving record. Not only will this conviction result in points on your record, but it also could lead to an increase in your insurance rates. Call John now at (518) 605-9106 for a free consultation. It is likely that he will be able to get a reduction to a violation that will not appear on your driving record or affect your insurance rates.
In certain circumstances and upon application by an attorney, a Court may be able to vacate a past guilty plea that you may have entered into for a traffic matter. Generally, the plea must have been fairly recently and shortly after you received the ticket, although any application is up to the discretion of the Court.
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) laws in New York have become much stricter over the years making it more important that you hire a DWI attorney who is quite familiar with the new laws. In January of 2007, a new law created the offense of Aggravated DWI. Aggravated DWI is a new category of DWI with stricter penalties and new plea-bargaining restrictions.
John also handles matters for Unlawful Possession of Marijuana (also referred to as Marihuana) - NY Penal Law Section 221.05. Unlawful Possession of Marijuana (UPM) citations are often issued in conjunction with speeding tickets or other traffic matters issued as a result of a vehicle or traffic stop.
John handles criminal matters throughout greater Albany and the Capital Region. As a former Assistant Public Defender, John is experienced at the jury trial level and has handled all type of criminal matters in some of the busiest New York Courts. Whether you are looking to fight the charges by seeking a trial or if you simply want to see about getting a plea bargain reduction John will be able to help and advise you.

Dealing with John was one of the easiest transactions ever. Laid back, easy going professional - I paid a a few hundred bucks to have my speeding ticket reduced to nothing. From 6 points to a parking ticket. Worth every penny, I would HIGHLY recommend him.

John has helped me tremendously dealing with a traffic violation I received in Albany. Right from the start of our first call, he had a plan of action of how he wanted to approach the violation since I was an out-of-state NJ driver with my first offense. He has also always been very responsive to all my emails and questions throughout the whole process. I'm incredibly pleased with the outcome of the case. Thank you!

My wife was going 86 in a 65 (21 over) in NY (Newburgh) and faced $693 in fines plus 6 points on her license. Since we were from out of town, we reached out to multiple attorneys to represent us. Mr. Lindsey was very affordable, professional, and responsive. He represented us over the couple of months until this matter was resolved. In the end, my wife ended up with a $200 fine and no points. 10/10 would hire Mr. Lindsey again.

John is a really amazing attorney. He took the time to understand the situation with the ticket and give his advice on what would be possible outcomes.

I came to John to help me fight a speeding ticket I got. John was very kind and kept me up-to-date throughout the process. He was frank at the start letting me know what to expect and the likelihood of reducing the points and fine on the ticket.
He did a great job and was able to change the ticket to a parking violation ensuring I got 0 points added to my record. Definitely recommend!

I received a traffic violation in upstate New York during a trip to visit some friends. I live in Virginia and had never received a moving violation before so I was at a bit of a loss for how to handle the ticket with minimum damage to my driving record and insurance rates.
I contacted Mr. Lindsey for a consultation and he was clear and informative regarding the appropriate course of action and what kind of outcome I should expect. After I hired him to represent me he was always very prompt in his replies, and answered any of my questions clearly and quickly. He was able to request my moving violation

Getting a ticket is stressful, and I think nobody should go through it by themselves. Mr. Lindsey worked through two tickets with me from start to finish. He is the best person to help you go through the process. He is professional, prompt with responses, super helpful. He represented me in the court, helped avoid getting points on my DL and insurance. The cost to hire him to do the work is very reasonable and you save yourself lots of money and headache with the judicial system. Highly recommend him!
