TRAFFIC OFFENSES

Most advice surrounding traffic tickets or traffic offenses is to just pay the ticket and move on with life. Not many realize that by doing so, you are setting yourself up for potential high fines, points on your license, and higher insurance rates. In addition, some courts will automatically suspend your license if you are at or above a certain speed, or have committed a more serious traffic offense! More importantly, if the traffic offense is serious enough, it can quickly turn into a criminal offense.

• DUI/OVI Charges
• CDL Violations
• Speeding
• Driving Under Suspension
