Helping You Fight Traffic Violations
Nothing ruins your day like being pulled over for a moving violation. Traffic tickets are disliked for a number of reasons:
- They are expensive, causing extra pain to those who can least afford it.
- The state has significantly raised penalties for repeat offenders.
- Law enforcement officers often prey on out-of-state drivers and college students.
- Tickets threaten your livelihood if you drive a truck or cab or need to drive to work.
- Convictions go on your permanent record, where employers and schools can see them.
- The laws seem more intent on generating revenue than saving lives.
- Tickets harm people who have not caused anyone actual harm.
Why You Should Have A Lawyer For A Ticket
It seems simple – get pulled over, get a ticket, pay your ticket. However, it is important to know how a traffic violation may impact your life. You may accumulate points on your driving record that can lead to the suspension of your license. You also can see an increase in your auto insurance rates if you have too many tickets on your record.
