Trustworthy representation for a wide variety of traffic violations
A traffic violation is a civil penalty, a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the degree to which the driver’s actions showed a disregard for safety and to what extent actual harm resulted. Civil penalties carry fines and penalty points, but misdemeanors and felonies have additional consequences, such as loss of license and jail time. Serious traffic violations include:
| Driving under the influence (DUI) | Driving while impaired (DWI) |
| Fleeing a police officer | Reckless driving |
| Running a stop sign or traffic signal | Speeding |
| Unsafe lane change | Following too closely (tailgating) |
| Passing violations | Failure to yield |
When an accident occurs, especially one involving personal injury, the stakes are raised. Many charges, such as reckless or drunk driving, can result in jail time and civil liability. Serious charges include:
| Fleeing a police officer that results in the bodily injury or death of a person | Hit-and-run |
| Criminally negligent vehicular manslaughter | Vehicular manslaughter |
| Negligent vehicular homicide DUI |
Serious charges require experienced criminal defense representation. By aggressively challenging the evidence against you, as well as police procedures, I can often minimize the consequences of an arrest or citation.
Consequences of point assessment
When you accumulate points on your license, you trigger higher insurance premiums that can cost you thousands of dollars. Carrying points on your license puts you at risk of a suspension the next time you’re ticketed. Before you write a check for a traffic violation, consult an experienced attorney. We are often able to negotiate a reduction of charges or a dismissal. When you calculate the full expenses associated with a moving violation, you can’t afford not to retain a good lawyer.
