FAQ
Should I Just Pay the Traffic Ticket?
These seemingly minor tickets are still criminal offenses and should not be taken lightly. The penalties and consequences of a traffic violation can vary greatly based on the circumstances. It may be easier to pay a traffic ticket, but paying the fine is the same as pleading guilty. This results in convictions on your driving record that can not only incur court costs, increased insurances rates, and points on your license, but they also will be used against you on future traffic violations. No matter how minor traffic tickets may seem, you need an experienced Memphis criminal defense attorney to fight them.
Will a Traffic Ticket affect my CDL?
Any traffic violation can seriously jeopardize the career of a commercial licensed driver. Unlike other motorists, a person with a CDL cannot attend traffic school or defensive driving classes in order to have the case dismissed. Contact an experienced Memphis traffic violation attorney before paying a fine or pleading guilty to a traffic ticket, otherwise you may not only lose your CDL, but jeopardize your employment as well.
