When on the receiving end of a ticket, you have two options: The first is to submit a guilty plea, pay the fines, and receive a conviction. The second would be to fight the charge, which is what we recommend doing. Even if you are guilty, there is no need to plea so. By fighting the ticket, you can get the charges reduced or dismissed entirely. The Benjamin Goldman Law Office offers legal services to ticketed motorists in Otsego County.
