Why is it important to hire a defense attorney in a driving offense or traffic violation case?
Police may seek license revocation for driving offenses, claiming the driver poses an “immediate threat” to public safety. Furthermore, accumulating enough traffic violations within a timeframe can label you a habitual offender. You will be facing years of incarceration if you are charged with driving on a revoked license as a result of being adjudicated a habitual traffic offender.
Leaving the scene of a car accident, especially after another person sustains injuries, can have serious consequences. Defense strategies applicable to your case will depend on the specific facts of your situation. A common defense to leaving the scene of an accident or property damage is that the driver did not realize that the accident occurred. Another common defense is that the driver could not stop or avoid the accident due to safety concerns. There may be other defenses available to you based on the circumstances of your case.
Police can mess up tickets too. Fight a ticket by showing up in court and convincing the judge the officer made a mistake. Additionally, your traffic offense attorneys can present evidence that lessens the penalty. In order to dispute the citation, you will have to appear in court on the scheduled hearing date. Oftentimes, challenging a ticket involves convincing the judge the officer was wrong or presenting mitigating evidence.
