In most cases you never have to appear in court. We handle it for you, for one flat fee.

Counties Served
The Southern Tier region includes Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Delaware, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, and Tompkins counties. The region runs along New York’s border with Pennsylvania and is anchored by Binghamton, Elmira, Ithaca, and Corning.
Traffic Tickets in the Southern Tier
Common traffic-ticket issues across the Southern Tier include speeding, following too closely, cell phone and texting tickets, stop-sign and traffic-light violations, unsafe lane changes, and commercial-vehicle and CDL matters. The region is defined by the Southern Tier Expressway (I-86 / Route 17), which runs east-west through Binghamton, Elmira, and Corning, along with I-81 through Binghamton and I-88 toward Oneonta. Heavy through-traffic and freight on these corridors, plus the Pennsylvania border crossings, mean speeding, CDL, and out-of-state tickets are especially common here.
Why Southern Tier Traffic Tickets Are Different
The Southern Tier combines small-city traffic in Binghamton, Elmira, and Ithaca with long stretches of rural highway and town-court jurisdiction throughout the surrounding counties. A ticket written on the expressway near Corning is handled very differently from one issued in a small village court in Delaware or Schuyler County. Each local court has its own prosecutors, judges, and practices — and we appear in courts across the region, so we know how each one operates. For most clients, that means we resolve the matter without you driving back to a distant court.
