WHAT MAKES A GOOD TRAFFIC LAWYER?
When faced with a traffic ticket and the hefty fines and insurance hikes that come with it, you might be considering fighting the charges. The truth is that your best odds of getting reduced charges or an outright dismissal is by hiring a great traffic attorney. But how do you find the lawyer who’s right for you? WEB PRESENCE Thankfully, you can use plenty of online resources to vet lawyers in your area. Sites like Avvo and even Yelp feature up-to-date information and reviews on practicing attorneys. Best of all, client reviews left for attorneys on Avvo and most other sites can’t be deleted, even if they’re 1-star ratings, so you know you’re getting an accurate picture of performance. Visiting a law firm’s Facebook page can also be helpful, giving you insight into the personality and convictions of the legal team you’ll be working with to ensure it’s a good fit. SOLE FOCUS While researching lawyers, it’s imperative that you look for those who focus solely on traffic law. There are a few jack-of-all-trades lawyers, but most of the time, attorneys limit their practice areas because you can’t be a master at all of them. A lawyer committed to traffic law knows the nuances of fighting violations and is familiar with how different courts approach these cases. This is the kind of knowledge that only comes with years of experience, and it makes all the difference in your case. HONEST QUOTE Any traffic lawyer worth their salt will offer free phone consultations, so be sure to take advantage of this. If you’re feeling good about hiring a particular firm but are still on the fence, then give them a call and see what they have to say about your case. If they seem overeager for you to hire them, take a step back. Honest attorneys will always be frank with you about the odds of your case and will work to help you understand the stakes or even temper your expectations before hiring them. That’s the sign of a lawyer dedicated to doing right by their clients, not just getting as many cases as possible.
