Most traffic
violations are civil infractions. A civil traffic infraction is a traffic
violation of a statute, ordinance, or rule relating to traffic movement and
control. Examples include speeding, running a stop sign, driving without a seat
belt, having an expired safety check sticker, and parking where prohibited.
Penalties for traffic violations include monetary assessments, community
service, and mandatory attendance in a driving class or other educational program.
Many civil traffic
violations can be handled without going to court. However, a highly experienced
traffic lawyer can help you handle all of your traffic violation needs. They
can listen to the details of your situation and analyze your legal position.
They can offer you the pros and cons of several alternate courses of actions.
So how do you choose a
traffic lawyer? Here are some tips.
Do a lot of research. It is entirely unethical for a traffic lawyer
to guarantee results and, therefore, you should stay clear from such quick buck
artists. No honest, self-respecting traffic lawyer would ever make such a
representation. In fact, common sense dictates that no one can guarantee what
some third party (a judge or prosecutor) will do. If you are lucky, the fine
print will explain what is actually being “guaranteed.”
Know how much experience he or she has. It’s important for a traffic
lawyer to know the local rules and people in the place where the case will be
heard. Let’s face it: who you know, in many cases, is important to success. If
your traffic lawyer knows the players and the court, you will have an
advantage.
Ask how much the rate is. A client should be clear on the
purpose and scope of the representation. The client needs to determine what is
included in the cost of the representation to ensure that they are receiving
all of the services that they expect from their traffic lawyer. Prior to
retaining a traffic lawyer, the client should consider requesting a written
agreement so that both parties are clear on the terms.
