Can an attorney appear in traffic court for you?

Yes, a traffic attorney can go to court in your place and represent you. This saves you the time and stress of appearing in court, as well as preventing you from taking time off of work. Some traffic attorneys charge a small flat fee if they only need to appear in court for a short time.

Do I need a traffic attorney?

You may need a traffic attorney to help if you were given a ticket for any of the following reasons:

Speeding.
Running a stop sign
Running a red light
Driving recklessly
Participating in a street race
Being involved in a hit and run
Driving without a license or with a suspended license

A traffic attorney can dispute the ticket and help you keep your license, sometimes getting off with a warning instead of paying heavy fines. Hiring a lawyer can also help you get compensation if you've been injured in an accident.

How do attorneys get traffic tickets dismissed?

Attorneys gather all relevant information regarding your case and present it to a judge. Oftentimes, your attorney will negotiate a deal with the prosecutor and compromise if necessary. One way they keep points off your license is by changing a ticket to a non-moving violation, which would not show up on a driving record. Another way is to find a small detail that's missing or off, which would make the ticket invalid.

Do I need to go to court for a ticket?

While many states have online portals that allow citizens to pay traffic tickets without going to court, you will need to go to court if you're disputing the ticket. If you pay for the ticket, you're admitting guilt and allowing the violation to show up on your record, which may or may not be in your best interest. If you hire an attorney, they will appear in court for you.

If you do not pay your ticket or show up for court, the judge can find you guilty, suspend your license, or even issue a warrant for your arrest. Failure to appear in court instead of requesting a new court date is more serious than the initial traffic violation.

I hired Mike when I was in disastrous situation. I had an OP against me, I could not get access to my daughter, petitions for the sole custody and child support was filed by my ex. After the first court appearance with Mike, OP was removed and I got temporary residential Custody. Right after, my ex created a criminal case against me. Mike helped me promptly to get all criminal charges dismissed and I got full temporary custody of the child. Custody battle last over 2 years and all this time Mike was a grate help for me. After Custody hearing that by itself last for a year I got permanent full Custody of the child despite that we got a new judge. Again, it would be impossible to achieve without Mike’s A year later, we won an appeal filed by my ex. It is not very common in our days that fathers get full custody especially when mothers do not overuse drugs or alcohol but I got it with grate Mike’s help. Mike often gave me advises that saved me time and money. For example, he ended up the hearing right in time despite that I thought more time is required to bring more witnesses to convince the judge. Mike available when I need him and answers to my messages / phone calls in time. His promptness saved me in number of situations in my high-conflict divorce. He was transparent to me, did not hide anything. Mike is a good strategist. For example, I accepted one of his advises that was not beneficial to me in a short term but played well at the end. Mike was transparent to me, did not hide anything. It does not mean that I put my fate in lawyer’s hands and stop thinking myself. I knew what I wanted and use Mike’s sharp mind, professional skills and experience of a trial lawyer in order to achieve the desirable outcome.

The team has designed the logo, website, and mobile app. The team has conducted a lot of meetings back and forth allowing them to identify what needs to be done. Although it is too early to identify key metrics, Go Logo Now successfully completed the project. They've been complimented for their amazing communication.
