Should You Hire an Attorney for Your Traffic Ticket?

Posted By Jerry Loftin & Associates || 17-Feb-2020

About 20% of all Americans have received at least one traffic ticket. Whether it's for speeding, failing to yield, or something more severe, traffic tickets are a fact of driving. Most people either fight traffic tickets on their own or accept the penalty and pay the fee. Others turn to a skilled attorney.

Should you hire an attorney for your case? That depends on the situation.

Fighting Penalties

Texas, like many states, has a Driver's License point system. The more tickets you get, the more points are added to your license. Add too many points, and you face thousand-dollar fees and potential license suspension.

In addition to those fees and license points, you'll often face court processing charges. With all the extra fines, an unexpected $1,000 DUI penalty can become even more expensive than hiring an attorney. The more serious your case, the more grief an attorney can potentially save you.

A skilled attorney can help reduce penalties. In some cases, they may be able to have the charges dismissed altogether. This can be invaluable for anyone facing steep fines and the possibility of losing their license.

Speaking to an Attorney

An attorney's job is to provide legal advice. Whether that means disputing the ticket by mail or negotiating in court, an attorney with experience handling traffic cases will advise you on the best path forward.

Additionally, you may want to seek an attorney local to the area where the ticket was received. For example, if you received a ticket in Fort Worth, but you live in Plano, you might have better chances of a successful defense if you choose an attorney familiar with the local judge.

If you're facing a serious traffic ticket, you might want legal representation. If you'd like to discuss your case with an experienced Fort Worth criminal defense attorney from {Site:BusinessName} to evaluate your case, please send us an email or call {F:P:Site:Phone}.
