Traffic Tickets
Keeping points off your record and you on the road.
It is tempting to just pay a traffic ticket and move on, but doing so is a guilty plea that puts points on your record, raises your insurance premiums, and moves you closer to a suspension. For commercial drivers and those who rely on driving for work, the stakes are even higher.
Hartwell Legal Group fights traffic citations to protect your license and your wallet. In many cases we can appear on your behalf, negotiate reductions that avoid points, and challenge the officer’s evidence — often without you ever having to take time off work to attend court.

Traffic Tickets FAQ.
Paying a ticket is an admission of guilt that adds points and raises insurance. Fighting it can protect your record — often for less than the long-term cost of the points.
For adult drivers, accumulating 12 points within 12 months (or 18 within 24 months) can trigger a suspension. Younger drivers face lower thresholds.
Often not. For many citations we can appear on your behalf and resolve the matter without you missing work.
