TRAFFIC OFFENSES
Steps to Take if You are Stopped
- Stay Calm. Be Polite to the Officer.
- Avoid Admitting Guilt.
- DO NOT Consent to a Search of Your Vehicle.
- Document Everything. Write down details like the time, location, weather, and any witnesses.
- Check the Ticket. Ensure all information is accurate.
- Contact an Attorney. The sooner you act, the more time your lawyer has to prepare your case.
Why Fight a Traffic Ticket?
- Avoid License Points. Too many points can lead to a suspended license.
- Prevent Insurance Increases. A single ticket can cause a sharp rise in premiums.
- Save Money. Fines and fees can be costly, and avoiding them is often worth the effort.
- Protect Your Driving Record. A clean record helps maintain driving privileges and employment opportunities.

How Can an Attorney Help?
- Review Evidence. An attorney will examine the officer's report, radar gun calibration, and other evidence for errors.
- Negotiate Reductions. Attorneys can often reduce charges to non-moving violations, avoiding points on your record.
- Contest in Court. If necessary, an attorney will present a strong case, using legal expertise to fight for dismissal or acquittal.
- Provide Peace of Mind. Letting a professional handle your case reduces stress and increases your chances of a favorable outcome.
