Why Hire An Attorney
The Problem
Driving Record
Your driving record is extremely important. If you are found to have committed a traffic infraction, the Court will almost certainly report the infraction to the Department of Licensing (DOL). The DOL will document these infractions on your driving record for at least three years. Insurance companies and employers will then be able to view these infractions.
Insurance Premiums
As you may already know, your insurance premiums are heavily reliant on your driving record. If you get a traffic ticket that is found committed, insurance companies may raise your rates for three years or longer. This increase in insurance premiums could cost your hundreds, if not thousands, over the long run.
Commercial drivers and those that drive for a living
If you have a commercial driver’s license (CDL), keeping your driving record clean becomes even more important; your livelihood may very well depend on it! The DOL and employers closely monitor the driving record of CDL drivers. One too many infractions for a CDL driver may result in license suspension by the DOL or being fired by an employer. Even if you do not have a CDL, but still drive for a living, your employer will likely monitor your driving record very closely.
Young Drivers
The DOL is very strict with teenage drivers on an intermediate license. All it takes for the DOL to suspend an intermediate license is two committed traffic infractions.
Time
Modern life is hectic and your time is constantly being torn by competing obligations. To properly fight a traffic infraction, you will need to dedicate your precious time to adequately familiarizing yourself with the pertinent traffic laws and rules. Once you have prepared your arguments, you will need to take time out of your day to sit and wait your turn in court. Although you have the absolute right to defend your own traffic ticket in court, for many, it simply may not be worth their time.
