Looking for Ways to Fight Your Traffic Charges
Many people deal with traffic offenses by just paying the fine, even though they may have valid defenses against the charges. Our attorneys are experienced at seeking opportunities to defend our clients against a wide range of traffic charges, including:
- Speeding
- Driving without a license
- Driving under a license suspension
- Driving without insurance
- Commercial driver's license (CDL) violations
- Operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI)
There are several grounds for calling alleged traffic offenses into question. The police must have reasonable suspicion for any traffic stop, and they must also use accurate instruments to measure things like your driving speed or alcohol level.
Our attorneys will work diligently to protect your driving record by actively defending you against your traffic charges.
Reducing the Points on Your Driving Record
If you are convicted of certain traffic offense, the state may add points to your driving record. For instance, a drunk driving conviction will result in the imposition of six points on your record, while a simple speeding ticket may result in the imposition of two points. If you accumulate 12 points or more within a two-year period, your license may be suspended and you may be subject to additional penalties.
Points can also have a major effect on your insurance rates. We may be able to challenge previous traffic tickets and/or get you into classes that can reduce your points.
The lawyers at our firm are experienced in helping clients reduce points on their driving records and defending traffic charges. Contact us today to discuss your options.
