6 Reasons Why a Traffic Violation Lawyer Should Fight Your Ticket

​

• Acquiring a traffic ticket is no fun at all.

​

Situation may be worth it to hire a traffic violation lawyer who could fight the ticket. Many people, in their haste to be done with the ticket, simply forget the ramifications of what a guilty plea to the ticket actually means. Often, not only does the DMV give multi-year surcharges, the insurance companies also use the ticket as an excuse to purposely raise their yearly rates for multiple years.  

​

For instance, you get a speeding ticket, but were actually keeping up with traffic or you get a parking ticket because you park in a parking space where there isn't any sign posted.  Whatever the situation is, whether you are at fault or not, there is a good chance you could beat the ticket if you decide to fight it by hiring  a traffic violation lawyer.

​

Here are a few of the many reasons why having a traffic violation lawyer by your side is actually helpful:

​

• They know how to get you out of it
   

When you are given a traffic ticket, your attention will not be focused on finding a mistake on the traffic ticket or trying to figure out how you could prove you did nothing wrong.  However, a traffic violation lawyer is expert at finding mistakes the issuing officer made as well as uncovering ways to prove you did not do anything wrong.

​

• Traffic Violation Lawyers Can Get Your Ticket Reduced
   

Let’s simply say that there really are no mistakes or errors on the traffic ticket, which means, you have no way to get out of it. This doesn’t mean that you’ll need to pay the whole fine. Your lawyer can negotiate for a lower fine. They can use a good driving record as a reason to reduce your ticket or they can find other ways to convince the judge to reduce your ticket.

​

• They fight for your Rights
   

Traffic Violation Lawyers know traffic law and they know your rights as a driver.  They know best how to fight for you.  Aside from that, it is very reassuring to have someone in court with you who knows the law and your rights. Knowing that you will have any and all possible defenses and your side of the story will be considered is all someone can ask for when defending a traffic ticket.

​

• It is less expensive than you think
   

Most people think the word Lawyer means high cost. However, many lawyers in this industry offer low rates as well as easy payment plans. So, representation by a traffic violation lawyer is surprisingly affordable for most people.

​

• Prosecutors are intimidated by skilled traffic violation lawyers

Prosecutors are rarely intimidated by individuals who represent themselves in traffic court.  However, an experienced traffic lawyer can and do cause prosecutors to think twice before they try to bully a defendant in traffic court.  Simply, the prosecutors know they are dealing with an expert, with knowledge and skills like their own.  When confronted with such an adversary, most prosecutors watch what they do very carefully.  They know they must follow the law and know if they do not, the traffic violation lawyer will not hesitate in taking the case to trial.  Prosecutors usually have large case loads, they really do not have the time to try so many cases. Thus, the prosecutor will be much more agreeable to reduce or even eliminate some of the charges against the defendant solely in the interest of getting thru the cases in a particular court session.

​

• They can change the Judges View

Changing the view of a Judge is a skill that most traffic violation lawyers are expert at.  A skilled traffic violation lawyer will present the facts of the case in their most favorable light and show the judge how and why it makes perfect sense to find the defendant not guilty of the violation.  In many instances, this skill will in the alternative show the judge that in the interest of justice, the charges should be reduced under the circumstances.
