Archive for the ‘Traffic Tickets’ Category

This is one of the biggest misconceptions out there. Tickets get reduced or dismiss all the time by attorneys. Every ticket is different and it is in your best interest to consult with an attorney. Stay away from attorneys that promise dismal, or do not want to give you a free consultation. No one can guarantee a dismal and a 95% dismal rate does not mean much. No attorney can guarantee the outcome of any case.  Here i s a list of website:

The laws are written to ensure safe and orderly driving, however tickets more and more represent a huge revenue for the local enforcement agencies. This is why it is very difficult to dismiss a ticket without the proper representation.

A ticket is a ticket. Although, excessive speeding carries a harsher penalty, any ticket over the designated speed limit is not readily dismissed.

In order to dismiss a ticket there has to be an overwhelming amount of evidence as well as major mistake on part of the officer.

Once a ticket is in the system there is very little an officer can do. Many people think they can influence other officers in not showing up, this is illegal. Officers routinely not showing up in court is frown upon.

Many people believe that if you schedule a hearing date before or after a holiday the officer is less likely to show up. This however is not true. Part of an officer’s job is to show up in court, and they are very aware of these dates when they schedule vacation. In addition judges are very aware of this common myth.
