Traffic Tickets
Traffic Citations
Defending careless driving, running lights, and other moving violations.
Beyond speeding, everyday moving violations — running a red light, careless driving, following too closely, improper lane changes — carry points and can escalate to more serious charges when an accident is involved. Careless or reckless driving in particular can bring criminal exposure.
We defend the full range of traffic citations, working to keep points off your record, avoid criminal convictions, and preserve your ability to drive for work and family.
- Careless and reckless driving
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Following too closely / improper lane use
- Failure to yield and right-of-way tickets
- Driving under restraint
- Accident-related citations
Criminal exposure
Careless and reckless driving can be criminal offenses, not just infractions.
Points and suspension
Moving violations add points toward a suspension.
Insurance
Convictions drive up premiums significantly.
Employment
A poor record can cost you driving-related jobs.
We evaluate the officer’s observations, the physical evidence, and any video, and we contest the elements the state must prove for each specific violation.
We negotiate reductions that avoid points and criminal records, and we take contested cases to trial when the evidence does not support the charge.
Careless driving is a traffic offense that can carry points and, when injury results, more serious penalties. Reckless driving is treated even more seriously.
Frequently, yes. We negotiate reductions to non-point or lesser offenses whenever the facts allow.
Accident-related citations can affect both your record and any injury claim. We defend the ticket with those broader stakes in mind.
