Our Traffic Ticket Defense Services
Here at The R.M.L. Law Firm, PLLC, we represent individuals facing a wide range of traffic offenses, including the following:
- Cell Phone Violations: Using a cell phone while driving is a common offense, but it doesn’t have to result in points on your license. Attorney Louis can investigate whether your situation qualifies for an exemption, such as emergencies, or challenge the officer’s observations in court.
- Speeding: Speeding tickets are one of the most frequent traffic offenses, but each carries varying degrees of penalties. Attorney Louis examines the specifics, like radar calibration or officer training, to ensure the charge is accurate and fairly assessed.
- Driving With a Suspended License: A charge of driving with a suspended license can lead to severe penalties, including fines and even jail time. We help uncover administrative errors or explore reinstatement options to protect your record and livelihood.
- Leaving the Scene of Accident: This serious allegation can result in steep penalties, including criminal charges. Our firm works to demonstrate mitigating circumstances or establish a lack of sufficient evidence to pursue a favorable resolution for you.
- Reckless Driving: As a criminal offense, reckless driving can impact your license and your future. Attorney Louis’s experience in traffic court allows him to dissect police reports and testimony to challenge the basis of this charge effectively.
- Other Moving Violations: From failure to signal to improper lane changes, moving violations can add points to your record and hike your insurance premiums. We work to identify errors in the ticketing process or negotiate reductions that minimize your liability.
Did You Know?
- Cell Phone Violations: Convictions for using your cell phone while driving add 5 points to your record. However, if you were making an emergency call to 911, medical services, or police, you may have a valid defense.
- Reckless Driving: This serious offense not only adds 5 points to your license but also results in a criminal record.
- Points Accumulation: If you collect 11 or more points in a 24-month period, you risk having your license suspended or revoked.
- Speeding Convictions: Accumulating three speeding tickets within an 18-month span could lead to license suspension or revocation.
