- I have a traffic ticket shouldn't I just plead guilty and pay the fine?
No, If you plead guilty you can receive points can effect your license and can cause your insurance to go up, in addition to the fines you will have to pay. In addition, in many cases a good lawyer may be able to plea bargain away your tickets or reduce your points.
- What if I cannot take the time off of work to fight the tickets?
In many cases your lawyer can fight your tickets without you being there.
- I have numerous suspensions on my license for failure to answer tickets I want to get my license back as soon as possible I was advised by one attorney to go pay all the tickets is this right?
No, this is one of the worse things you can possibly do, While you want to
answer the tickets as quickly as possible in order to get the suspensions
lifted pleading guilty is the worse thing you can do as you may be pleading guilty to tickets that will prevent you from receiving your license back in the
near future as the DMV may label you a persistent offender. If you are labeled a persistent offender the DMV will have to review your record and based upon your record will determine, after using their own internal negative units system, when you can reapply. We recently had a client in our office
who decided to plead guilty to all open matters and now can not apply for a license for another 2 years.
- How can I avoid being labeled a persistent offender or having my license taken away?
Don't handle your own tickets. Contact a lawyer who concentrates in Traffic Law. Retaining a lawyer who concentrates in traffic offenses can go a long way in keeping your license.
- How much does a lawyer cost?
Prices vary from attorney to attorney and case to case. But the general rule is you get what you pay for.
