How to fight an NYC Parking Ticket for No Standing

An important customer question about a no standing parking ticket

Customers asked, ” I got a parking ticket while I was in my car, behind the wheel, dropping off a passenger in a no standing zone.  Can I fight this parking ticket?”

The answer is, absolutely.  Here’s what you do:

• Prepare an affidavit clearly stating the facts, sign the affidavit before a notary public
• Your passenger should prepare a certification clearly explaining where she was going, why you dropped her at the place of occurrence, and describe the building she was going to enter.
• Enter a “not guilty” plea and enclose a letter explaining your defense with supporting affidavit, witness certification, and exhibits

A member of the driving public recently asked (October 2017), “Do I prefer fighting a parking ticket online or by mail?” Check out this blog post for the answer. 

Briefly, I now fight all my client’s tickets online (except appeals by mail) because the Evil Empire has made fighting a parking ticket online a breeze. They addressed many of my prior concerns, such as:

• Viewing Exhibits
• Uploading evidence you are confident will reach a judge
