Zero chance of reduction. Dismissed will vary on the mood of the judge and how well the attorney knows him.

really? I thought that they can possibly get it down by 2 points instead of 6

Outside the city, they sometimes knock it down. In the city, never heard of it.

I had it once downgraded by two points, ie from 32 over to 20+ over, by a lawyer, that was over 10 years ago.
Most of the time it’s either guilty or dismissed in NYC.

People on reddit don’t deserve your apology over a speeding ticket, few of them drive, and most are carelessly run red lights on their bikes/scooters or ride against traffic, jaywalk into moving traffic.

I always experienced either guilty or dismissed. This is the first time I've heard it getting downgraded in NYC.

If you are close to the cutoff, they can argue that the gun might be off by a mile or two if it was not recently inspected, i’m guessing. I didn’t go myself so don’t know what the lawyer said, but hey lowered from 8 to 6 points.
