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.
