Did you get a pink criminal court appearance ticket (summons) for VTL
§ 512?
Getting a pink colored criminal court appearance ticket is serious because
violating section 512 is a misdemeanor and could give you a criminal record.
If you or a loved one was given a criminal court appearance ticket for
a suspended registration (VTL 512), we can appear in court and fight to
get your ticket dismissed or resolved with no criminal record. You can
submit your ticket here or
contact us 212-619-3900 for consultation about your ticket and to go over the different options.
