So, you’ve been given a ticket for a violation. What is your next step?

Usually, when someone has to appear in court for a traffic ticket, they don’t think they need legal representation. However, having an experienced attorney on your side can give you the edge you need to win your case. To make things even better for yourself, you need a traffic attorney. The average person has little to no traffic court experience. Representing yourself can lead to accidentally incriminating yourself, and a lack of understanding of the court process could mean you won’t represent yourself well. Traffic court is unlike any other courtroom. You could wait hours for your name to be called and then have only 2–5 minutes to present your case. If you need a witness or a supporting document as evidence, you must have both with you and ready as you step into court. You will not be given any additional time to collect what you need. Other attorneys may have courtroom experience, but a traffic attorney sits through hundreds of these cases in traffic court, which has helped them understand the courtroom process and how each judge rules. This gives traffic attorneys the advantage they need to win your case. A traffic attorney may also know the law enforcement officer (LEO) who issued the ticket, whether they are in the court on the day of trial, or to ask for a dismissal if they are not. If the LEO is in court and your case is weak, a traffic attorney can sometimes work out a deal to a lesser charge that carries no points. You might need to pay the fine, but your insurance will not increase, which could save you $1,500 or more. If you are given a traffic violation, seek help from an experienced traffic attorney, like those at Bigger & Harman. We have the skills and experience your case needs. Call us today to schedule a consultation.
