Why Fight Your Ticket?
Protecting Your Driving Privileges
Traffic violations often involve more than simply paying a fine. Convictions may result in points against your driver’s license which, over time, can accumulate and lead to the suspension or revocation of your driving privileges.
Preserving Your Insurance Rates
Your driving record is also accessible to your insurance company and monitored by its underwriters. Insurance companies often view drivers with traffic convictions as higher-risk drivers, which may result in increased insurance premiums or the loss of good-driver discounts.
Safeguarding Your Criminal Record
Additionally, most traffic violations are also criminal misdemeanor offenses. If you simply pay the fine (thereby pleading guilty to the traffic offense) or are otherwise found guilty by the court, the resulting conviction will likely also appear on your criminal record. This could potentially end up costing you a job opportunity or promotion, since your criminal record will be accessible by your current or future employer during background check investigations.
Benefits of Legal Representation
In many cases, an experienced traffic lawyer can often amend a moving violation to a non-moving violation without you ever having to show up for court. This changes the nature of the disposition from a criminal misdemeanor to a mere civil infraction (much like a parking fine). This often helps:
Prevent points from being added to your driver’s license
Prevent your license from being suspended or revoked
Avoid increased insurance premiums
Protect your criminal record from misdemeanor traffic convictions
Attorney James Wright has successfully helped clients avoid all of these consequences through experienced negotiation and strategic representation in jurisdictions throughout Missouri and Kansas.
