The New York State Criminal Procedure Law requires the sentencing court to specify any sentencing conditions and provide the defendant with a written copy of any conditions of probation at the time of sentencing. More specifically, where “the court pronounces a sentence of probation . . . . it must specify as part of the sentence the conditions to be complied with. Where the sentence is one of probation, the defendant must be given a written copy of the conditions at the time sentence is imposed.” CPL § 410.10(1).

The New York State Penal Law also mandates that the sentencing court specify the conditions a probationer must comply with. For example, Penal Law § 65.00(2) states “When a person is sentenced to a period of probation the court shall . . . . specify, in accordance with section 65.10, the conditions to be complied with.” see also Penal Law § 65.10(1)(“The conditions of probation . . . . shall be such as the court, in its discretion, deems reasonably necessary . . .”).

Three Judges were sworn in on December 23, 2011 by New York Court of Appeals Associate Judge Theodore Jones. The new Judges as of January 1, 2012 will be Arlene Gordon-Oliver, Walter Rivera and Delores Scott Brathwaite. Judge Arlene Gordon-Oliver is the only returning judge having served in the Town of Greenburgh Court since 2007. In addition, the search continues for a replacement for Regina Hill.

One of the changes that is expected in 2012 will be another night court session in the Town of Greenburgh. One night per week was already added and another one is expected to be added soon.

From now until August 31, 2011, Tilem & Associates will cover any traffic infraction except leaving the scene of an incident or Driving While Ability Impaired (VTL 1192(1)) returnable to any local criminal court in Westchester County, Rockland County, Broome County and St. Lawrence County. Tilem & Associates handles traffic infractions throughout the entire State of New York at competitive prices but the 2011 Summer Special $195 price only applies to the aforementioned counties. Terms apply and you should read them.

Tilem & Associates has been one of the leading traffic ticket defense firms for years. Our firm has developed a high volume, low priced statewide traffic ticket defense model that many small-time, solo practitioners try to imitate with copycat websites and similar marketing techniques. However, many of these attorneys simply can’t offer the pricing Tilem & Associates can offer because they don’t do the volume necessary to make money at the low prices Tilem & Associates can offer.

Tilem & Associates offers representation on traffic matters by competent and experienced attorneys. We have been revealing that little secret that traffic ticket defense attorneys who charge high fees hope you never learn – for the most part, the attorney you hire for traffic court makes very little difference. When our competition tells you differently; when our competition claims to have some type of speeding ticket defense team, or other magic strategy which somehow gets them better deals than the next traffic court attorney, ask them just what it is exactly they can do better than Tilem & Associates – or any other traffic defense attorney for that matter. The answer is nothing. So why pay more?

And here’s a little something our competition can wonder about all summer. Wait until our competition learns what we have planned for our 2011 Fall Pricing Special. Did someone say $99.00? I’m getting ahead of myself. Till then, call 1-877-377-8666 or visit us at www.DrSummons.com for more details about our 2011 Summer Special.

Until August 31, 2011, Tilem & Associates is offering a Summer Special price of just $195.00 for representation on any traffic ticket charging traffic infractions in any court located in Westchester County, Rockland County, Broome County and St. Lawrence County. This Summer Special $195.00 price applies to all traffic infractions except Leaving the Scene of an Incident or Driving While Ability Impaired although our fees are very reasonable for those charges as well. Terms and Conditions apply and you must read them. Also, you must mention this Summer Special $195.00 when you first call us. See the Terms and Conditions of this offer.

Keep in mind, just about any attorney can handle traffic tickets (and plenty are doing so). Being the busiest and “best” traffic court attorney has very little to do with one’s legal skills and everything to do with one’s internet marking skills. Unless you are unlucky enough to retain a total buffoon of an attorney (and there are a few out there), you will most likely get just about the same plea bargain deal no matter which attorney you hire. There is no “Johnny Cochran” roaming around traffic court.

If you received a traffic ticket returnable in the Buchanan Village Court and you feel that an attorney who charges $500 or $750 or more will get a better deal than Tilem & Associates, than certainly retain their services. If you understand that for $195, Tilem & Associates will almost certainly get you the same result as any other traffic court attorney, than feel free to contact us toll free at 1-877-377-8666 or visit their website at www.TrafficTicketExpress.com.

Generally traffic infractions in Yonkers are prosecuted by the officer who issued the summons or another officer from the same law enforcement agency. Several law enforcement agencies issue tickets within the City of Yonkers including the Yonkers Police Department, Westchester County Police Department and the New York State Police. Therefore, you can expect to meet with a police officer as opposed to a district attorney or city attorney as you might in other jurisdictions.

The City Court of Yonkers is located at 100 So. Broadway, Yonkers, NY 10701. The number for traffic matters is 914-831-6910. There is a parking lot for the courthouse but it fills quickly so get there early or expect to park on the street. Street parking is metered so bring change; tickets can be as much as $40.00. When you enter the courthouse you will pass through a metal detector and you might be further searched. Bags, pocketbooks, briefcases, etc will be searched so leave your handguns and controlled substances at home.

While we make no guarantees and our past performance does not mean we can obtain a favorable result in your case, the truth is, we have handled hundreds of tickets in Yonkers and we have about a 95% success rate at obtaining reductions or dismissals.

At trial, your lawyer argues that the Trooper has not produced sufficient proof establishing that the radar unit he used to determine the speed of your vehicle was in proper working order. The judge agrees with your attorney and excludes all radar evidence from your trial. You win, right? Without any radar evidence or evidence that the Trooper paced your vehicle, how can the prosecution prove you were speeding beyond a reasonable doubt? Case over – not guilty. Wrong.

In New York, like many other states, you can be convicted of speeding based solely on the officer’s visual estimate of the speed of your vehicle, uncorroborated by devices such as radar or laser. People v. Olsen, 22 N.Y.2d 230 (1968). Prior to the Olsen decision, such visual estimate opinion evidence alone however, was insufficient for conviction. People v. Magri, 3 N.Y.2d 562 (1958).

New York Criminal Procedure Law sec. 140.10(1)(a) states in pertinent part “a police officer may arrest a person for: (a) Any offense when he has reasonable cause to believe that such person has committed such offense in his presence.” Speeding is an offense. Speeding is a traffic infraction, which is an offense. Despite the fact that traffic infractions are non-criminal offenses, technically CPL 140.10(1)(a) allows an officer to arrest you for speeding if committed in his presence.

Most likely arresting people for speeding would be frowned up by supervisors. Issuing a ticket for minor non-criminal offenses is preferred over arrest. As noted by one court: “Public policy arguments favor the issuance of ‘universal summonses’ (appearance tickets) where appropriate rather than arresting citizens where minor offenses are involved.” People v. Hazelwood, 104 Misc. 2d 1121, 1123-1124 (N.Y. City Crim. Ct. 1980)

However, it’s something to keep in mind before you decide to mouth off to an officer who stops you for speeding. Politely decline to admit to anything. For example, when asked the famous question: “Do you know why I stopped you?” — You certainly wouldn’t want to say something like: “Sure I do, I was doing 85 in a 55 mph zone.”

Just be respectful and, if issued at ticket, feel free to call us toll free at 1-877-DR-SUMMONS (1-877-377-8666) or visit us on the web at www.tilemandcampbell.com.
