Highly recommended Arthur pressman. I don’t live in Buffalo New York but while visiting my family there from Florida. I got pulled over while driving on a, suspended license in Florida. They arrested me and gave me a court date to appear in court and due to me living out of state I just could not afford to go back and forth to buffalo from Florida so that’s when I hired Arthur Pressman. He made sure to handle everything for me and kept me informed with what was going on. I received no points no penalties and the case was dropped. Thank you Arthur pressman your the best. Would definitely recommend you to family and friends.

Arthur Pressman is who you want representing you in court. My son was pulled over and charged with 3 felonies and several misdemeanors. It was a terrible time, with my son arrested and taken to the holding center. I contacted Mr. Pressmant, and it wasn’t long before the felonies were dropped as were some of the misdemeanors. My son is now getting the help he needs. Mr. Pressman is highly respected in the court system. I am very thankful for what he was able to do. We felt like we were living a nightmare but things turned around and got better because of him. He is very professional but also a genuine nice person. I highly recommend him.
J.N.O.
Arthur is a life-saver and I mean that literally not figuratively. His credentials speak for themselves and you can tell you’re in experienced, fair and realistic hands the second you begin your initial consultation with him. He’s not only extremely skilled and talented in what he does but you can tell he has a true passion for it as well as helping the people who are lucky enough to be represented by him.
Highly recommended is an understatement, in my opinion this is the only attorney you need to seek out in the WNY Region if you and your case meet his criteria.

Many people feel that because they received an infraction in another state, it does not follow them home. That is not the case. If you miss a court date or ignore your ticket, most states have a sharing process. The Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in your home state is notified, and you are penalized according to your respective state guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions for Out-of-State Drivers in New York
Do I need to appear in a New York court for my out-of-state ticket?
An attorney may appear for you on certain traffic matters when permitted by the court. Criminal charges and orders requiring your presence need separate attention. Confirm your case’s requirements before deciding not to travel.
Will a New York traffic ticket affect my license in my home state?
A conviction or failure to respond may have consequences in your home state as well as New York. Reporting, points and license action depend on the offense and the home state’s rules. Review both jurisdictions before entering a plea.
What are the consequences of ignoring a New York traffic ticket?
Ignoring a ticket can lead to additional court action and suspension of New York driving privileges, with possible consequences at home. A missed criminal appearance can raise additional issues. Contact the court or counsel promptly about the actual notice.
Can a lawyer help me fight a ticket from Canada?
The firm can review a Canadian driver’s New York ticket and discuss representation. Consequences in Canada depend on the home province and offense; no particular license or insurance result can be promised.
Can a lawyer help a CDL holder with a New York traffic ticket?
A lawyer can evaluate the charge and available defenses, but commercial drivers face additional rules and not every reduction is permitted or avoids a commercial-license consequence. Disclose your CDL status at the first consultation.
How can an out-of-state driver pay for legal services?
Ask the firm about currently available payment methods, the fee agreement and what hearings or appearances the fee covers. Confirm those arrangements directly before sending a payment.
