Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

Just because you received a traffic ticket does not mean that you have to pay big time financial penalties. The experienced Rochester traffic ticket lawyers at Friedman & Ranzenhofer have helped hundreds of people from the Rochester community rightfully fight back against DMV penalties, suspensions, and revocations. Our attorneys can help you get your license back and restored.
If you think that getting speeding tickets over and over again is not going to have a huge impact on your life, you need to reconsider that type of thinking. If you are convicted of three misdemeanor traffic tickets in an 18-month span your license will be revoked for as long as 6 months!
Let the attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer, PC try your case. We will minimize the damages so if something happens later down the road you will not have a serious infraction on your prior record. We do not want the penalties to add up.
If your license has been suspended or revoked, you are required to physically turn it over to the court or the DMV for the duration of the penalty. Your suspension or revocation doesn’t actually begin until you surrender your license, so if you’re walking around with a suspended driver’s license in your wallet, you haven’t even started your suspension period!

Rochester Traffic Ticket FAQs
Immediate consequences typically include a fine, a mandatory state surcharge, and points on your driving record. Accumulating too many points can lead to the Driver Responsibility Assessment (DRA) fee, insurance rate hikes, and ultimately suspension or revocation of your license.
Yes. Our primary goal is negotiating a reduction to a non-moving violation carrying zero points. Where that isn’t possible, we aim for the lowest-point offense available or fight the case at trial.
For many drivers, yes. Insurance premium increases alone can cost thousands of dollars over three years, so hiring a lawyer to protect your record and prevent points is often a strong investment.
The point system assigns points based on violation severity. Accruing 6 or more points within 18 months triggers the Driver Responsibility Assessment fee, and 11 points in 18 months results in a hearing to determine potential suspension or revocation.
A conviction is far more serious for CDL holders, as certain offenses can lead to lengthy or permanent disqualification from commercial driving. Our defense for CDL holders focuses on reducing or dismissing charges to protect your livelihood.
We handle virtually all Vehicle and Traffic Law infractions and misdemeanors, including cell phone and distracted driving tickets, failure to yield, running stop signs and red lights, reckless driving, following too closely, unregistered vehicle violations, and Aggravated Unlicensed Operation.
In most infraction cases in Rochester City, Town, or Village courts, our attorneys can appear on your behalf, handling paperwork, negotiations, and court appearances so you don’t need to take time off work.
You contact us for a free case evaluation, we file a Notice of Appearance and analyze the evidence, we negotiate with the prosecutor for a reduction to a zero-point violation, and if negotiation fails, we prepare for trial.
