Consequences
There are many consequences to getting a ticket. Payment of the fine is not enough to deal with the issue. Points will be placed on your driving record for almost all driving infractions. These points accumulate and can result in the suspension or loss of your license. A single violation can cause you to lose your driver's license. Securing proper legal representation is the best way to defend yourself against a ticket and ensure that the consequences of your ticket affect your driving privileges as little as possible.

 

Insurance Rates
Auto insurance rates are high enough as they are. When you get a traffic violation, your premiums can go up substantially. Depending on your driving record, your premiums can go up an additional 50%! And insurance rate increases stay with you for more than three years after paying the ticket. At the Law Offices of Robert B. Hakim, we can help prevent an insurance rate increase and keep your premiums as low as possible.

 

Your Plan of Action
The first thing you should do is decide to defend yourself. A lot of people assume they were guilty when they got a ticket. This is not necessarily true. You can plead not guilty and attempt to fight the charge in court. Preparation is the key to victory in court and techniques such as taking pictures, contacting witnesses, and creating diagrams will go a long way in convincing the court of your side of the story. Hiring counsel to help present your defense is the best way to assure a victory.
