How Can a CDL Defense Attorney Help You?
An experienced CDL defense attorney can assist you by fighting your ticket and keeping it off your driving record. Or, even when the facts are not good for an acquittal, the attorney can very often still negotiate a disposition of a ticket that will avoid any penalty points from accruing on your driving record, which helps keep your insurance premiums down.
While you can defend yourself in traffic court, you will rarely achieve a result that an experienced CDL ticket lawyer can accomplish for you. And if your ticket is a misdemeanor or potentially a felony, where a conviction will result in your having a criminal record, it just isn’t smart to try to defend yourself. You need an experienced CDL defense lawyer to help you.
Don't Pay the Fine in Advance for Your CDL Ticket!
While you can always simply pay the fine and avoid contesting the ticket, that will almost always result in an expensive fine and points on your driving record. Not to mention a disruption in your work schedule, with a loss of earnings, by having to travel to the court and make an appearance before a judge.
Instead, allow us to defend you in court where we will work to protect your driving record and save you from expensive fines, increased insurance premiums, and a loss of your driving privileges.
