New York State Point System

New York Uniform Traffic Violations

New York State utilizes a point system for purposes of determining if an individual motorist's license or privileges to operate a motor vehicle should be either suspended or revoked. If a person is convicted of three speeding related offenses within an 18 month period, or, in the alternative, is convicted of other vehicle and traffic law crimes which total 11 points, that person's license or privileges to operate a motor vehicle within the State of New York will be suspended. The point system is as follows:

I was arrested and charged with drunk driving in New Rochelle after a traffic accident. Mr. McMillan worked tirelessly on my behalf and ultimately got the charges dismissed following a jury trial. I would recommend him to anyone. Bob, former client

I was convicted after jury trial in Supreme Court (for a crime I didn’t commit). Mr. McMillan worked tirelessly to make sure my conviction (and sentence) were overturned on appeal. I can’t thank him enough. George, former client
