Speeding Ticket Defense Attorney

Fight Your Traffic Ticket

It happen to the best of us. If you have been pulled over for speeding or if you have received a speeding ticket through the mail, then you may think it’s best to just suck it up, pay the fine and move on. However, by paying the ticket you are admitting defeat and guilt. It is possible to challenge the charge and walk away without having to pay the fine and without damage to your driving record.

There are some instances when a speeding or traffic ticket can mean you will also lose your license.

However, you may not realize this until you have paid the ticket and receive a license revocation letter in the mail.

By then, it’s usually too late. Before you pay the ticket, contact a defense lawyer to discuss your options. You have 10 days to challenge the fine and possibly walk away without any complications and issues to your driver’s license.

Speeding Ticket Consequences

If you do receive a speeding ticket, you could be looking at:

• A fine of anywhere from $25.00 to $500.00 for a first time offense. How much you pay will depend on how fast above the speed limit you were going.
• A loss of license for six months to one year if you are under the age of 21 and if you are 24 miles per hour over the speed limit
• A loss of license for 30 days to one year if you have lost 15 points or more off your driving record in a twenty four month period. How many points you will lose for a traffic offense or speeding ticket will depend on how fast you were going as well as other factors. Most speeding tickets will result in a three point loss.

Under 21 Drivers License Suspension

Getting your license is one of the most exciting things to happen to most teenagers. Finally you have the freedom to get behind the wheel and go! However, if you are under the age of 21 there are a lot of rules that apply to you on the roads. Furthermore, the law is also a lot stricter on drivers under the age of 21.

Because of the statistics surrounding speeding, drinking and driving and car accidents for those under the age of 21 and because of the lack of experience on the road, if you are ever caught doing something illegal on the roads, then you could be faced with an automatic license suspension.

If you are convicted of a traffic violation such as a speeding ticket or underage DUI arrest, then you could be looking at a license suspension. In many instances you won’t even realize that you are at risk of losing your license until you have already paid the fine and then receive a letter in the mail explaining that your license has been suspended for 6 months.

There are ways around this. You can speak to a defense attorney that has experience in traffic violation defense about what you can do to remain on the roads. You have 10 days to file an administrative hearing to challenge the suspension and remain on the road. During this time, do not pay your ticket. Instead, let us decide what the right thing to do is. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your legal rights and determine what is best for you.

1 Year Suspension For The Following Traffic Tickets

If you are under 21 and commit one of the following offenses you could also lose your license for up to a year:

• Speeding greater than 24 miles an hour over the posted speed limit
• Reckless driving
• Aggressive driving
• Minor drug possessions
• Leaving the scene of an accident
• Fleeing and eluding

 

Underage Drinking and DUI Offenses

When you are under the age of 21 and caught with any amount of alcohol in your system, then you could be charged with a DUI. It doesn’t matter if you only had a sip of beer – you could still be convicted. Under 21 DUI convictions can result in:

• 20-40 hours of community service
• Complete suspension of your driver’s license for six months to one year
• one day minimum in jail

What happens in your case will depend on a number of things including whether you have legal representation. Tom Barton can help you out of this situation and ensure the minimal damage to your license, your record and your life.
