PRO TIPS
Do Not Ignore the Ticket
Ignoring a citation can lead to additional fines and a suspended license. Respond by the deadline listed on the ticket. Contact an attorney early to review your options.
Gather Evidence Quickly
Take photos of the scene and note weather or road conditions. Save any dashcam footage you may have. This evidence can support your defense in court.
Know the Real Costs
A single ticket can raise insurance rates for years. Points on your license may also affect employment if you drive for work. Fighting the ticket may reduce these long-term costs.
Comparing Your Legal Options
When Full Legal Representation Is Needed:
Facing a Misdemeanor Charge
Reckless driving and similar charges carry criminal penalties. A conviction can affect your record beyond just points. Legal representation helps address these serious risks.
Risk of License Suspension
Multiple violations can trigger DMV suspension proceedings. An attorney can help present your case at a hearing. This may help preserve your driving privileges.
When a Limited Approach May Work:
First-Time Minor Violation
A single minor infraction with no prior record may resolve with a simple negotiated outcome. Court intervention may still help avoid points. Even minor tickets benefit from review.
No Prior Driving Record
Drivers with clean records may qualify for traffic school or diversion. This can keep the violation off your public record. An attorney can confirm eligibility.
