Staunton, VA Traffic Attorney
Spirited defense to protect your driving privileges and insurance status
A moving violation has consequences beyond a stiff fine. Points on your license mean higher insurance rates and higher fines or even a suspension of your license for subsequent infractions. The court is not obligated to allow you to attend traffic school to clear your driving record, and in some cases, it is expressly prohibited. Fortunately, Alleman Law Group, PLC can help with an assertive legal defense that rebuts the prosecution’s case where it is weakest.
Legal knowledge and courtroom experience make all the difference
Everyone knows someone who has beaten a traffic ticket. They went into court hoping the citing officer would not show up and got lucky. Maybe the judge took an extra moment to look at the citation and saw that material information was missing that rendering it null and void. These things do occasionally happen. However, by going into court without thorough preparation and a strategy for defending the charges, you are treating your court appearance like a trip to the casino. An experienced criminal defense attorney with knowledge of traffic law and the court is a significant asset as you try to limit the damage done to our driving record and insurance coverage.
Generally, traffic violation cases are won on technicalities, which take knowledge of the law to understand and courtroom experience to communicate clearly and persuasively. For instance, red light cameras require posted warnings and regularly scheduled maintenance to be constitutionally valid. Yellow light intervals must adhere strictly to roadway standards. Radar instruments used to gauge speed must be recalibrated frequently. If you do not have a working knowledge of the technical aspects of traffic law, you are unprepared to defend yourself in court.
