Traffic Ticket Defense

Have you recently received a traffic ticket or another form of moving violation? Whatever you do, don’t put the ticket in your glove box and forget about it. The worst thing you can do is to do nothing! Ignoring a ticket could result in extra fines, court costs, warrants being issued for your arrest, or even jail time.

At the Piatchek Law Firm, our attorneys regularly handle traffic matters and fix traffic tickets. We will attempt to keep your moving violation off your record or (at a minimum) attempt to reduce or eliminate the points added to your driving record. We can also attempt to reduce the impact the violation will have on your insurance rates. Generally, there are two types of traffic tickets for attorneys to handle:

• Traffic tickets that require an appearance in court
• Traffic tickets that do not require a court appearance

We are happy to handle either type of ticket. Many simple speeding tickets do not require attorneys to actually appear in court. Of course, we love it when we don’t have to go to court and can handle the case by phone, fax, or email.

Keep in mind that most people who try to deal with traffic matters themselves (often in an effort to save money) usually do have to appear in court and often must miss work or otherwise inconvenience themselves to do so. However, sometimes there are special rules that allow attorneys to not have to appear in court at all. We may be able to schedule a traffic ticket for a “law day” as well (a day in which only attorneys appear), and we can go without you having to go. Save yourself the time and effort. Hire an attorney to fix your traffic ticket. Please call our offices if you have any questions about your traffic ticket, preferably before you simply pay it and move on.
