Traffic Violations are failures to comply with federal or state motor vehicle laws. Though motor vehicle laws vary slightly from state to state, the purpose of all motor vehicle laws and regulations is to promote and provide safety on the roads by deterring unsafe driving and penalizing unsafe driving activities. However, being unjustly or falsely convicted on a motor vehicle violation can be quite costly and time consuming. A Traffic Violation attorney can defend you rights if you have been accused of a violation of traffic laws.

After committing a Traffic Violation, a traffic ticket may be issued by a police officer, ordering the offending driver to appear in court. Most speeding or moving violations are not criminal offenses. They result in fines, “points,” and consequently, higher auto insurance rates. These are good reasons to hire an traffic attorney to fight the speeding ticket or moving violation, protecting yourself from long-term negative consequences. Certain Traffic Violations, due to their serious nature, are classified as misdemeanors or felonies, resulting in more severe punishments, including jail-time. These include DUI/DWI Drunk Driving, Hit-and-Run, and Reckless Driving. If you have been accused of any of these criminal traffic violations, you need a traffic violation lawyer to defend you in court.
