Seeking Ways to Avoid or Reduce Points on Your Driving Record
We frequently receive calls about speeding tickets and related types of traffic charges such as reckless driving. When you get a speeding ticket, you may want to just make it go away by paying the fine. However, pleading guilty can lead to significant points on your driving record.
Having points on your record can directly impact your insurance rates and can eventually lead to the suspension or revocation of your driver's license.
The cost of hiring a lawyer can pale in comparison to the cost of accumulating points. Depending on the facts of your case, there are a variety of techniques we may be able to use to keep points off your record or reduce the number of points that are assessed against you.
Fighting Charges for Driving While Suspended or Revoked
One particularly serious traffic offense is driving with a driver's license that has been suspended or revoked. If you are convicted of this criminal charge, you could face jail time and major fines as well as suspension of your license for an additional year.
Many county prosecutors are dedicated to making sure people convicted of driving while suspended or revoked spend at least some time in the county jail.
You may have been charged with this offense because you ignored a speeding ticket in the past and had a hold placed on your license. If we can get your ticket taken care of, we may be able to get your license reinstated and then obtain a more favorable plea deal for you.
If you have been charged with any traffic offense, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your options with a skilled attorney.
