When deciding whether or not fighting your traffic ticket is worth it, there are some important factors that you should consider. If you are fighting a single traffic violation, you may not think you need to hire an attorney. However, receiving multiple tickets for traffic violations over the course of one year can result in higher license fees and drastically higher insurance rates. Also, a single reckless driving charge can lead to the suspension of your driver’s license. These repercussions can end up costing you thousands of dollars in the long run. By hiring a traffic defense attorney, you will have someone fighting to keep your insurance rates from increasing and to keep your driver’s license in good standing, saving you time and money.
We provide smart and strategic defense services. Consistently appearing in the Traffic Violations Bureau and local traffic courts, we have the expertise and experience to effectively represent you at minimal cost. Traffic offenses are not fact-based — you cannot usually go into court and tell your side of the story. Invariably, the judge will accept the officer’s testimony no matter how convincing you may be. Rather, traffic cases are won by technical defects in the ticket. They are also dismissed if the cop does not show up to court after several adjournments. In most cases, our clients are not required to appear in court.
