PRO TIPS
Don't Ignore the Ticket
Ignoring a ticket can lead to a default judgment and license suspension. Respond by the deadline listed on the citation. An attorney can help you decide the best response.
Keep Copies of Everything
Save the citation, any correspondence, and court notices. These documents help your attorney build your defense. Missing paperwork can delay your case.
Know Your Options Before Court
Some tickets qualify for traffic school or reduced charges. Discussing options early can save time and money. An attorney can explain what applies to your situation.
Comparing Your Legal Options
When Full Legal Representation Is Needed:
Facing a Reckless Driving Charge
Reckless driving is a misdemeanor with serious consequences. It can affect your license and insurance for years. An attorney can help minimize the impact.
Multiple Prior Violations
Repeat offenders face harsher penalties from the court and DMV. A lawyer can present mitigating factors on your behalf. This can help avoid suspension.
When a Limited Approach May Work:
First-Time Minor Infraction
A single minor ticket with no prior history may qualify for traffic school. This keeps points off your record. Legal guidance can confirm eligibility.
Clear-Cut Equipment Violation
Fix-it tickets for equipment issues are often resolved by proof of repair. These cases usually require minimal legal intervention. A brief consultation may be enough.
