Traffic attorneys handle speeding and moving violations, reckless driving, driving without a licence or insurance, commercial vehicle citations and licence suspension hearings. The fine is usually the smallest part of the problem: points, insurance surcharges lasting years, and the risk to a commercial driving licence are what make representation worth the cost.
In many courts an attorney can appear for you, negotiate a reduction to a non-moving violation, or arrange traffic school without you taking a day off work.
Before you hire
- Do not simply pay the ticket online if points are attached — payment is a guilty plea and closes your options.
- Ask for a flat fee, and ask whether it covers a second appearance if the case is continued.
- If you hold a CDL, say so at the first call. The rules are stricter and some reductions available to other drivers are prohibited.
Impaired driving charges are handled under DUI & DWI, and criminal traffic offences under criminal law.
Traffic Tickets: frequently asked questions
What is the basic speed law?
The basic speed law requires you to drive no faster than is reasonable and prudent for the conditions, regardless of the posted limit. It means a driver can be cited for 45 mph in a 55 mph zone during fog, ice or heavy traffic — the posted number is a ceiling, not a guarantee.
