Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and DC Traffic Violations Attorney
Don’t just assume you will get the conviction and points without talking to our firm.
While all traffic violations are frustrating and regrettable, many seem like they’re not worth fighting. Yet even a simple speeding ticket can result in driving points, increased insurance rates, and additional consequences if you receive another citation later.
Of particular importance is the speed with which you are charged. Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and DC classify speeding citations based on speed, and the Department of Motor Vehicles will assess points based on how fast you were allegedly traveling. If you have a CDL license is extremely important to make sure your record is kept clean, not just because of the potential penalties with the State but also because of your employer’s expectations.
Many judges on the district court level treat these citations differently. Some try to access severe penalties while others do not. It is very important that your lawyer understand and anticipate what is expected so you may get the best possible result.
An experienced criminal defense lawyer can investigate the circumstances of your ticket and tell you how to fight the charges.
JC Law has successfully fought thousands of traffic violations for clients, including:
- Exceeding the speed limit/speeding
- Reckless driving
- Running a red light
- Failing to give a proper signal
- Driving too fast for traffic conditions
- Passing a stopped school bus or overtaking/passing an emergency vehicle
- Racing
- Passing a vehicle at a crest or a grade
- Overloading a vehicle
- Hit and run
- Driving with an improper class of license
- Driving while not licensed
- Failure to report an accident
- DUI/DWI
- Fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer
A traffic or speeding ticket does not necessarily mean a conviction. Police officers make mistakes and, at times, even fail to appear at the hearings. I also undertake a full investigation to see if witnesses’ accounts vary with police reports and other evidence.
Please note that Maryland law has changed recently. The procedures for requesting a hearing are different than those in the recent past. Please feel free to call us for a free consultation.
