Charged With a Traffic Violation?
Instead of pleading guilty and facing the penalties imposed by the courts, it may be in your best interest to fight your traffic ticket to avoid significant fines and possible consequences such as:
- Loss of driving privileges
- Jail time
- Heavy fines
- Points against your license
- Insurance surcharges
- Increased insurance rates
Seemingly harmless actions such as going joyriding or tailgating a friend as a practical joke can result in any number of offenses including Careless Driving, Reckless Driving, Improper Passing of a Vehicle, Racing on a Highway, and Tailgating. And if someone is drinking at the same time, it could result in a DWI/DUI, or the death of a loved one.
Avoiding Points On a Driving Record
New Jersey has a point system for traffic violations. If someone is convicted of Reckless Driving they will receive 5 points on their driving record. However, a charge of Careless Driving only carries two points, and some charges carry no points. If a person gets enough points on their license, it will be suspended. In addition, points may lead to higher insurance rates.
Charged With Possession Of Drugs?
You are facing a very serious charge if you have been arrested and charged with possession of heroin, cocaine or any other illegal drug. Do not talk to the police, do not make a statement or answer any questions before speaking to an attorney. Anthony N. Palumbo has represented people charged with possession of drugs for more than 35 years. He knows the strategies to use to fight a drug charge and will make sure your rights are protected.
Possible consequences for a drug possession conviction may result in:

- Possible jail time
- Heavy fines
- Deportation for legal and illegal immigrants
