• Points on your license and a traffic conviction being placed on your driving record.

Speak to a qualified traffic lawyer before deciding to plead guilty or pay a fine. A skilled traffic defense attorney can speak with the prosecutor in your case, or talk to the police officer who ticketed you, and try to get your charges downgraded or dismissed. If the case does end up heading to trial, you are going to want an attorney who can persuasively present evidence and argue on your behalf to challenge the evidence, which may include radar gun readings and official police reports.
