Jacksonville Traffic Ticket Lawyer can Help you Fight your Ticket. Don’t Just Pay it!

On a bright sunny day in Florida, the last thing you want to get is a Traffic Ticket. Whether it is a ticket for speeding, careless driving or running a stop sign, it will not only ruin your day but cause you a headache in the future.

The worst aspect of getting a traffic ticket is not the fine but the other penalties that come with it.  A Traffic Ticket received in Jacksonville FL can have a serious impact on your driver license.  If you go ahead and pay your traffic ticket, speeding or otherwise, you will not just admit guilt but also will automatically receive points on your license. Remember the more points you have, the more impact it will have on your insurance premium.  Also, if you receive 12 points in 12 months, your license will be suspended for 30 days.  

If you did receive a traffic ticket recently, there is no need to panic. A traffic ticket attorney can help you gain control of the situation and educate you about the process.  The traffic ticket attorney can evaluate your ticket, what the officer wrote, any defenses that you may have, or if the officer even had reason to pull you over.  Remember it is always worth speaking to an attorney before you make a decision to pay the ticket, schedule it for a hearing or attend driving school. Our office offers a FREE consultation and we will help you make a decision as to how to proceed. In Florida, for certain tickets you can attend driving school up to 5 times in your lifetime and once in 12 months. Commercial Driver License (CDL) holders do not qualify for this opportunity and cannot take driving school.

Although texting and talking on the phone is very dangerous, it is not illegal in Florida. Please be responsible on the road, however if you do get a traffic ticket remember that you have a right to challenge the ticket or citation.  You will need to consult a traffic ticket lawyer to see what can be done to eliminate or minimize the effect of the traffic ticket on your license. 

An attorney who practices in the area of traffic ticket defense can help you reduce a fine associated with your ticket, avoid points on your license or get your license back. This can help you in the long run to keep your insurance low and to keep you from losing license. When a police officer writes you a ticket, always check if it is a criminal traffic ticket. For example a No Valid Driver License ticket is a second degree misdemeanor. Another common example is Racing on a Highway, which carries a driver license revocation as part of the sentence. If you did receive a criminal ticket, you will need to schedule a court date as quickly as possible. A traffic ticket lawyer will be able to explain to you what charges you are facing, maximum penalties, and what is going to happen in court.
