New Jersey Ticket Lawyers
The Law Offices of Lane M. Ferdinand
The New Jersey Ticket Lawyers at the Law Offices of Lane M.
Ferdinand serve clients throughout the state of New Jersey. We have
used our decades of experience to serve thousands of clients and truly
understand what it feels like to be facing a traffic citation.
We understand that getting a ticket can be very scary, especially when
you are unfamiliar with how the legal system works. We understand
that you might not know what penalties you could receive if you are
found guilty or whether your insurance will go up. We vow to answer all
of your questions so that you can make an educated decision as to
your case.
We also know that "beating a ticket" means different things to different
people. Some people are more concerned with keeping points off their
driving record, while others just want to lower their fine so they can
keep as much money in their pocket as possible. No matter what your
goal, the New Jersey Ticket Lawyers at the Law Office of Lane M.
Ferdinand will work with you to achieve that goal.
What are "points" anyway?
The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission tracks your
driving record by using a points system. Think of it as a
report card for drivers. However,unlike a school report
card, bad marks, or excessive points on your driving record,
can cost you money. Each specific violation has its own
point value. If you get six points on your record within three
years you will be assessed a surcharge by the Motor Vehicle
Commission. If you receive twelve points, your license will
be suspended. Also, points may seriously increase your
insurance rates. If you want to see how many points you
would be charged with if convicted, click HERE.

What are Surcharges, anyway?
If you are assigned 6 or more points on your Driver License, you will
have to pay a surcharge to Motor Vehicle Commission for three years,
in addition to any fines and penalties that the court imposes on your
court date. If you do not pay your surcharge, your license will be
SUSPENDED and the Motor Vehicle Commission may garnish your
wages or put a lien on your property. Surcharges are assessed only
once you have six points on your record. Once you reach the six point
mark you will be required to pay a $150.00 surcharge plus $25.00 for
each additional point, for the next three years. Also, there are certain
citations such as driving while suspended and operating an uninsured
vehicle which have their own surcharges ranging from
$100.00-$250.00. If you are assessed 12 points your license will be
suspended.
