People think that hiring an attorney to handle a traffic ticket is a waste of money. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Korody Law charges $120 to handle a Jacksonville traffic ticket in most cases. That is in addition to any fine or court costs that could otherwise be imposed. So, in the short term, hiring an attorney does cost more than simply paying the ticket.
In the long term, however, hiring an attorney to ensure that you are not convicted of your traffic violation means, in most cases, that you will not receive points on you license. POINTS ON A LICENSE ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
Points from a Florida Traffic Ticket can result in:
- Increased insurance rates (immediate)
- Status as a habitual traffic offender
- Eventual suspension of driver’s license
- Eventual loss of driving privileges
Korody Law recommends pleading “not guilty” to all traffic tickets and electing a court appearance. In court you and your lawyer will have the opportunity to FIGHT the traffic charges. Traffic violations are fact-specific and an attorney can determine the best course of action to ensure that you are not convicted of the violation.
Possible outcomes include:
- Dismissal of the citation
- Reduced fines
- Withholding judgment
- No points assessed to your record.
