FLEET SAFETY MANAGERS & TRUCKING COMPANIES
In my 25+ years of experience, I have successfully resolved thousands of pink trucking summonses in the City of New York and Long Island's 1st District Courts. These cases typically involve violations of the NYC Administrative Code, NYS Tax Law, NYS Transportation Law, NYS Vehicle & Traffic Law, NYC Code of Rules & Regulations, and NYC Traffic Rules.
New York State Law requires corporations to be represented by counsel in criminal court cases. If I represent your company, neither the driver or other
company employee will have to appear in court, in most cases. Contact me, Jeanne Marie Beckmann, Esq., for a free consultation at 516 485 4888 or [email protected] to discuss your company’s upcoming
court date. I represented big fleets and owner/operators who have entrusted me with trucking cases for decades.
If your company misses its court date or does not have an attorney appear on its court date, then the company can be found guilty of the charges (including misdemeanor crimes) and maximum fines can be imposed. This is referred to as a “default conviction” or “judgment”. If your company received a CRC 39A notice of default conviction and fine payment notice, contact me before the fine payment is due, if possible. I can make an application to vacate the default conviction to get the case restored to the calendar so your company doesn't have to pay the fines.
If the driver named on the ticket doesn’t appear on the court date, his/her driving privileges may be suspended and/or an arrest warrant can be ordered by the judge. The company will save money by hiring an attorney to represent the driver and, in most cases and may be permitted to substitute the company for the driver as the defendant in the action. This is referred to as “corporate substitution” and is effected by “Corporate Affidavit” or other paperwork.
I have successfully vacated thousands of dollars in default convictions for companies and vacated arrest warrants and license suspensions for drivers.
