Traffic Tickets

 

Why hire a lawyer for a traffic ticket? Why can’t you just negotiate with the prosecutor yourself? I look at your ticket from the perspective of the law. There are certain policies and procedures that need to be followed and that most people are not aware of. There are certain procedures at the Courthouse that make it easier for me as your lawyer to expedite the handling of your ticket.

Sure, you can pay your ticket online, handle it at the Courthouse by yourself, and you might even win. You will however spend a lengthy period of time or money taking on the ticket by yourself. When you hire me to help with your ticket, in many instances you do not need to appear in Court with me. I can save you the aggravation of going to Court and wasting all morning or afternoon on your ticket. Hiring me means you do not have to miss work or find someone to take care of your children.

My experience and understanding of the law gives me the opportunity to have your ticket dismissed entirely if the police officer or prosecutor did not follow all the legal rules. I know the law and will hold the police officer and prosecutor accountable. 

It is important to have a lawyer represent you in traffic tickets because a guilty plea can have serious implications on your insurance and driving record. Further, if you have a CDL, traffic tickets can negatively impact your ability to work for a living. Don’t make the mistake of thinking traffic tickets are no big deal and end up finding yourself with higher premiums or black marks against your driving record.
