Long Island Traffic Lawyer

     My name is Matthew A. Freer, Esq. and I am a Long Island traffic lawyer who can help you whether you have been ticketed, arrested or charged with DUI or DWAI. Don’t wait any longer to get legal help – the telephone consultation is 100% free and can help you determine how you wish to proceed. I am very upfront as to whether I can help you and what you can expect in regards to both the legal process and fees. Depending on the type and severity of the offense or crime, I can sometimes provide services at an agreed upon flat rate so you can know exactly how much it will cost.

​

     Retaining a good Long Island traffic lawyer often ends up costing people far less in the end than if they fail to seek legal counsel or choose to simply plead guilty to the charges or tickets without exploring their legal options and understanding the potential ramifications of their actions. For example, the rise in insurance rates the first year alone for someone who pleads guilty or is found guilty of certain traffic offenses will many times exceed the cost of having a competent attorney handle the matter for you. Here is why this is generally true:

 

     A good traffic lawyer on Long Island can often help you get a better result than you would otherwise. It is a common misconception that “points” determine how much your insurance will go up; this is not generally the case. Rather, it is based upon what offense or crime you are found guilty of or plead guilty to. When you plead guilty to certain offenses such as reckless driving, insurance companies will often raise your rate conservatively $200-$300 per month for more than one year, or more. So you can see that you are potentially looking at several thousand dollars over the next 2-3 years in increased costs and fees.

 

     However, I can seek to aggressively represent you and plead the charges down to something lesser that doesn’t trigger such a vast increase in your insurance rates – and for far less than the amounts you would pay in increased insurance. And, if this is not the route you wish to take, or an adequate plea offer is not put forward, I will stand by you as we fight the charges in court. While this is usually not our first option, I am ready to help see your case through the entire process if necessary and will help you secure the best possible outcome I can.
