    If NY state is anything like Jersey, then pleading not guilty is just gonna make things worse. If you plead not guilty, the judge is gonna set a trial date, and you have to hire a lawyer. Lawyer fees could be anywhere between $200 (state-assigned) and $700 or more.

    My advice: talk to the prosecutor, see if he/she can bump down the offense. That way, you'll pay a little more in court fees and fines, but you'll get fewer points (maybe as low as 2).
