Generally speaking, in New York State, if you’re charged with a speeding ticket, you have to personally appear to answer the summons. However, many courts will permit a criminal defense attorney to have the client execute a wavering authorization if they reside out of state, if they otherwise have an inability to appear, or if they’re attending college out of state. In-state, the client can execute a wavering authorization to allow the criminal defense attorney to negotiate and resolve the case without them physically having to be present.
