Fighting Georgia Traffic Tickets
If you got a speeding ticket or any other type of traffic citation in Georgia, you are being accused of a crime and you could be facing some serious consequences. Depending on the charges and your driving history, you could wind up paying hundreds of dollars in fines or you may even face jail time and license suspension.
Pay a few traffic tickets and you WILL see you insurance rates go up.
Before you pay that ticket and admit guilt, talk to a traffic ticket defense lawyer to be sure you understand what it could mean for your wallet and your future driving privileges. Contact the Atlanta law office of Jackson Steed.
Consulting a lawyer is the first step toward protecting your rights.
Saving You Money and Headaches
- Speeding tickets and drag racing (especially when you already have a speeding record)
- Driving on a suspended or revoked license
- Driving without a license
- Driving without insurance
- Reckless driving or careless driving
When it comes to traffic violations like these, paying the ticket can be much more expensive than hiring an attorney to help you fight the charges. Once your insurance rate goes up, it doesn't come back down. Over the years, you could end up paying thousands more in insurance.
Each traffic conviction puts points on your driving record. If you have enough points assessed against your license, your license could be suspended or revoked. If you are under 18, the system is even more harsh.
In Georgia, any traffic violation is a misdemeanor crime. That means a traffic court judge has the authority to sentence you to as much as a year in jail. While that is rare, some judges do sentence people to probation and community service for traffic violations. That can be a significant burden for working people.
It's worth your time and money to try to fight the charges. Our defense attorneys know how to do this. We have extensive experience fighting DUIs, traffic offenses and other criminal charges in Georgia traffic court and criminal court.
