How a Nassau County Traffic Ticket Lawyer Handles Your Case
Nassau County has a unique court structure for traffic tickets that can be confusing. Where your ticket goes depends on where it was issued.
NCTPVA — Nassau County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency (Garden City)
The Nassau County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency (NCTPVA) is located at 801 Axinn Avenue, Garden City, NY 11530 (previously at 16 Cooper Street in Hempstead). The NCTPVA handles traffic tickets issued in the unincorporated areas of Nassau County’s three towns — the Town of Hempstead, the Town of North Hempstead, and the Town of Oyster Bay — as well as tickets issued on parkways and highways that are not within any village boundary. If your ticket was issued by Nassau County Police, New York State Police, or a town police department on a road outside of a village, your case goes to the NCTPVA.
The NCTPVA is an administrative agency, not a traditional court. Cases are heard by Judicial Hearing Officers (JHOs), not judges. The agency employs both its own JHOs and prosecutors. Plea bargaining is available — when you appear for a conference, a prosecutor will review your case and driving record and may offer a reduction in charges in exchange for a guilty plea. Any agreed-upon settlement must be approved by a JHO. If no agreement is reached, a trial date is scheduled.
The NCTPVA also offers a Plea by Mail program for eligible violations, allowing certain tickets to be resolved without an in-person appearance. However, speeding tickets and several other offense types are excluded from the Plea by Mail program. Attorney Cook can advise you on whether your ticket qualifies.
NCTPVA Hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM. Night court sessions are offered on posted dates. Government-issued photo ID is required for admittance. Attorneys are encouraged to make appointments.
NCTPVA Phone: (516) 572-2700

As a Nassau County traffic ticket lawyer, the firm regularly handles cases at the NCTPVA and in all local village courts.
Nassau County Village Courts
Nassau County contains 64 incorporated villages, and most maintain their own village justice courts. If your ticket was issued within a village boundary — by village police, Nassau County Police, or any other agency — your case may be handled by that village’s court rather than the NCTPVA.

Our Garden City Office
Our Nassau County office is located at 1225 Franklin Avenue, Suite 325, Garden City, NY 11530 — minutes from the NCTPVA courthouse at 801 Axinn Avenue. When you hire our firm for a Nassau County traffic ticket, you are hiring a local attorney who knows this courthouse and appears there regularly. We also maintain an office at 12 Bank Avenue, Smithtown, NY 11787 for Suffolk County matters.
What a Nassau County Traffic Ticket Lawyer Can Do for You
Contact our experienced traffic ticket lawyers for a free intake consultation. Do not simply pay the ticket — paying is the same as pleading guilty and will result in points on your license, higher insurance premiums, and a mandatory New York State Driver Responsibility Assessment fee of up to $300 or more if you accumulate six or more points within 18 months. In many cases, hiring a lawyer can help you avoid these consequences entirely.

New York Traffic Ticket Points & Fines
Every moving violation conviction in New York adds points to your driving record. Accumulate 6 points within 18 months and the DMV imposes a Driver Assessment fee on top of any court fines. Reach 11 points and your license is automatically suspended.
Speeding Tickets
| MPH Over Limit | Points | Fine Range (1st Offense) | Fine Range (2nd in 18 Mo.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 – 10 | 3 | $90 – $150 | $180 – $300 |
| 11 – 20 | 4 | $90 – $300 | $180 – $450 |
| 21 – 30 | 6 | $90 – $300 | $180 – $450 |
| 31 – 40 | 8 | $90 – $300 | $180 – $450 |
| 41+ | 11 | $90 – $300 | $180 – $450 |
All speeding fines are subject to a mandatory NYS surcharge of $88 – $93. School zone speeding carries higher fines: $180 – $600 for a first offense and $360 – $750 for a second offense within 18 months.
Other Common Violations
| Violation | Points |
|---|---|
| Cell phone / texting while driving | 5 |
| Reckless driving | 5 |
| Following too closely (tailgating) | 4 |
| Inadequate brakes | 4 |
| Disobeying a traffic signal (red light) | 3 |
| Stop sign violation | 3 |
| Improper passing | 3 |
| Unsafe lane change | 3 |
| Failure to yield right of way | 3 |
| Disobeying a traffic device | 2 |
| Failure to signal | 2 |
| Child safety seat violation | 3 |
| Railroad crossing violation | 5 |
NYS Driver Assessment Fees
If you accumulate 6 or more points within 18 months (measured by date of violation), the DMV will bill you a Driver Assessment fee — separate from and in addition to any court-imposed fines:
| Points (within 18 months) | Total Assessment (paid over 3 years) |
|---|---|
| 6 | $300 |
| 7 | $375 |
| 8 | $450 |
| 9 | $525 |
| 10 | $600 |
| 11+ | $675+ (plus automatic license suspension) |
Three speeding convictions within 18 months = 6-month license revocation — regardless of total points. This catches many drivers off guard.
These penalties add up fast. A single 21-mph-over speeding conviction means 6 points, up to $300 in fines, $93 in surcharges, $300 in Driver Assessment fees, and a potential insurance increase of 20% – 40% for three years. The total cost of a guilty plea can easily exceed $3,000. Fighting the ticket is almost always the better option.
Why You Should Hire a Lawyer Now — Not Later
There is a window of opportunity on most traffic tickets that closes fast. Under New York law (CPL § 100.25), you have the right to demand a supporting deposition from the officer who issued your ticket — a sworn statement describing exactly what happened. If the demand is made properly and the prosecution fails to provide it within 30 days, the ticket must be dismissed outright. No trial, no plea, no points — dismissed.
But the demand must be made early. The clock starts running from the return date on the bottom of your ticket. If you wait until the last minute to hire a lawyer — or worse, show up to court on your own and try to handle it yourself — that window may have already closed. Once it is gone, you lose a potential basis for a full dismissal that cannot be recovered.
This is not the only time-sensitive opportunity. Depending on the type of ticket, we may also demand radar or lidar calibration records, officer training certifications, speed measurement device maintenance logs, and other documentation that the prosecution is required to produce. Gaps or failures in these records give us additional grounds to challenge the ticket or move for dismissal.
The earlier you call, the more options we have. Don’t wait for your court date.
Text us now at (631) 678-8993 or call toll-free at (888) 275-2620.
We will tell you exactly where you stand and what we can do — for free.
Snap a Photo. Text It to Us. Done!
Don’t try to explain your ticket over the phone — just take a photo of the front of the ticket and text it to (631) 678-8993. We will review it, tell you exactly what you are facing — points, fines, insurance impact, and whether your license is at risk — and give you a free case evaluation on the spot. No forms to fill out. No waiting on hold. Most people hear back within minutes.
