Getting a ticket for a traffic violation can be expensive, inconvenient, and could even lead to suspension or revocation of your driving privileges. For these reasons, you may want to consider consulting our experienced traffic lawyer to see what your options are for resolving the situation.

We may be able to assist you with any type of violation or ticket. Some of the most common include:

  • Speeding ticket
  • Driving While Intoxicated or Driving Under the Influence
  • Seat belt violations
  • Right-of-way violations
  • Cell phone usage while driving
  • Reckless driving citation
  • Stop sign violation
  • Operating a motor vehicle without a license

Your life can easily be upended by the penalties for these violations, which is why an attorney’s services can be valuable. While there are never any guarantees in any case, the attorney may be able to help you pursue dropped or reduced charges. The attorney may also be able to help you avoid the harshest penalties and minimize the consequences the traffic violation has on your life. A conversation about all of your options is recommended, so you can decide what to do next.

The attorney may be able to reduce the fines associated with the violation, or help you avoid jail time. We may be able to appear in court on your behalf for certain proceedings, so that you don’t have to take time away from work or your family to address the issue. Overall, we work to minimize the effect of this traffic violation on your life, but we need your help: When discussing the incident with you, we want to make sure we get all the details of what happened. We need to know what happened during the interaction with the police officer and afterward, in addition to what happened in the moments leading up to the moving or non-moving violation. With this information, we can build the most strategic case.

To arrange a consultation at McPhillips Fitzgerald & Cullum LLP, please contact us. Our law firm has offices in New York and in Florida. Our experienced team of attorneys takes traffic violation cases seriously. We will work tirelessly to pursue the best possible results on your behalf.
