Defending You Against All Types of Traffic Charges
At our firm, we believe that anyone accused of any offense, no matter how seemingly minor, deserves personal attention to his or her case. Our attorneys will explore all options for defending you against all types of traffic tickets, including citations for:
- Speeding
- Red light violations
- Stop sign violations
- Reckless driving
Many people who receive traffic tickets do not want the hassle of trying to defend themselves and choose to just pay the fines, essentially pleading guilty to criminal charges. However, simply pleading guilty to a traffic ticket may have unintended consequences.
Understanding the Impact of Points on Your Driving Record
Georgia has a point system for driving records. If you pay a traffic ticket or are otherwise convicted of a traffic offense, points will be added to your record based on the severity of the offense. If you acquire enough points, your driver's license will be suspended. If you acquire 15 points over a 24 month period, your license will be suspended for six months.
In addition to the threat of driver's license suspension, getting any number of points on your record can immediately result in higher insurance rates.
Our attorneys are familiar with all options for avoiding or reducing points in traffic cases. To discuss how we can help you fight your traffic ticket, please request a free initial consultation.
