The only problem with taking and sending pictures of tickets and charges is that they are often blurry, cut off and at times, require multiple pictures of each part of the document to be able to read the whole thing. The more people began to own Smartphones, the more I was told that they would take a picture of the ticket and email it to me.įrom days, to hours to seconds, the amount of time between asking a client to send me their paperwork and having it right in front of me entered the realm of light speed. During these conversations, I generally ask them to email or fax the ticket and paperwork to me. Today, it is not unusual that I get a call from a potential traffic ticket client almost immediately after the police officer handed them the ticket and while they are still on the side of the road. The one thing missing at that time was the need for instant gratification that we have in modern day 2015. Once more people began having their own computer scanners, the time between speaking with them and reviewing their charges decreased. The time between speaking with the client and looking at their charges was usually measured in hours and days and was not good for business. This generally meant that they would have to go to a store and pay to use their fax service, wait until after hours at work, or simply wait until they were back home or at their office. When a potential client would contact me about a case, I would ask them to fax a copy of their charges or tickets to me.

In 2002, after years of working as a prosecutor in the Rockland County District Attorney's Office, I decided to 'hang out a shingle' and venture into the world of private practice.

What I am about to discuss today may sound like a paid product placement or a commercial, but in reality, it is a shout-out to something that has simplified and changed many areas of my law practice.

I am a DWI, Criminal Defense and Traffic Ticket attorney practicing in Rockland County, New York.
