At Arpino Law, we fight traffic tickets across New York, and we get results.
In a recent case in North Hudson Town Court (Essex County), our firm secured a complete dismissal of a speeding in a work zone charge (Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1180[f]).
All charges against our client were dismissed in full.
The Charge
Our client was accused of traveling 73 mph in a 55 mph work zone, a violation that can carry:
- Significant fines and surcharges (enhanced penalties and points)
- Note: as of February 2026 all work zone speeding violations are 8 points.
- Increased insurance premiums
- Potential long-term impact on a driving record
Work zone speeding tickets are taken seriously in New York, often resulting in higher penalties than standard speeding violations.
The Result
After handling the case and advocating on our client’s behalf, the court issued written confirmation that:
“All of the charges pending against you… have been dismissed.”
In addition, the court processed a scofflaw lift, clearing any potential license suspension tied to the ticket.
Final Outcome:
- ✅ Ticket dismissed
- ✅ No points
- ✅ No fine
- ✅ License protected
Why This Matters
A speeding ticket, even one that seems routine, can have lasting financial and legal consequences.
This case is a reminder that:
- Traffic tickets are defensible
- Courts will dismiss cases when handled properly
- Hiring an experienced traffic attorney can make the difference
