Park Slope Traffic Ticket Lawyer
By working with a Park Slope traffic ticket lawyer, you can find out if your traffic violation can be dismissed, thereby saving you points on your license and money in fines.
Many people fail to realize just how serious the consequences that follow a traffic violation can be until it’s too late. Fines, surcharges, license suspensions, spiking insurance premiums, and even jail time are just some of the repercussions that can follow admitting guilt to a violation.
No matter how minor you think your traffic citation is, it’s always worthwhile to challenge it and try to get it reduced or dismissed. Doing so can protect your future and your finances, but the process of beating a ticket is neither simple nor straightforward. To give yourself the best chance for a successful outcome, speak with a Park Slope traffic ticket lawyer from the Law Office of James Medows.
Any Type of Traffic Violation Might Be Beaten
No matter what type of traffic ticket you received, there might be holes or gray areas in the case against you. We simply need to convince the judge of reasonable doubt, and it will be possible to have the traffic charges against you dropped.
Your Park Slope traffic ticket lawyer will have experience building cases to defend against a number of different traffic violations, some common and others more obscure:
- Speeding
- Cell phone use while driving
- Failing to yield
- Failing to stop at a stop sign or traffic light
- Tailgating
Traffic Tickets Put Much at Risk
Traffic citations can seem deceptively minor, but the repercussions to your life can be significant. By pleading guilty to a violation, you’ll be doing much more than just paying a fine and moving on. Your violation will also have a number of driving violation points associated with it, which will be assessed to your drivers license. If you accumulate eleven of these points within eighteen months, your license will be suspended.
Accruing just six points within eighteen months can result in having to pay an annual surcharge every year for three years. This surcharge will be a minimum of $100, but for every point over six, you’ll have to pay an extra $25 for the privilege of keeping your license.
You can also expect your insurance premiums to skyrocket, especially if your ticket was one that resulted in four or more points. Most car insurance companies use their own internal points system, so even if you’re able to get your points reduced later through a driving course, it’s entirely possible that your insurer won’t honor the reduction, making it critical to beat your ticket now instead.
