New Jersey Motorvehicle Point Schedule

When points add up, the DMV can suspend your license, impose DMV Surchrges, and your Insurance Company can increase your rates. With the experienced lawyers at Avery & Avery with you in Court, we can often minimize or eliminate your points by negotiating and/or bringing your case to trial. 

With the experience and reputation of Avery & Avery on your side, Judges and Prosecutors will give you the respect and consideration you deserve.
