In Colorado, most traffic violations carry “points.” The more serious the charge, the more points will be deducted from your Colorado driver’s license. Too many points against your driver’s license can get you suspended for up to a year. Too many points will also increase your car insurance rates. You need an experienced Colorado Springs traffic attorney on your side to protect your right to drive and ensure that you are not too burdened by the price and effect of having too many points assessed against your driving privilege.
Driving under revocation (DUR) is one of the most serious traffic violations. If you are convicted of driving under revocation, there is a mandatory jail sentence and a conviction will extend the period of your license revocation. At Right Law Group, we understand the complexities of these types of cases and will work hard to avoid jail sentences. We can also help you in the process of reinstating your driver’s license!
Here’s the thing: While receiving a traffic ticket or moving violation may not seem like a big deal, many times just paying a ticket without fighting the ticket can have a serious negative impact on your license and your life. In addition to how a ticket affects your driving privilege, traffic tickets can also be expensive, time-consuming, and can include additional costs and fines. This means higher insurance rates down the road, which means you’ll be paying a much higher cost in the long run. Some traffic violations also carry the risk of losing your driver’s license or the possibility of going to jail as a consequence. The reality is that FIGHTING your traffic violation is the best path because your chance of dismissal is higher than most other criminal charges and you avoid any and all potential criminal charges.
Here is a short list of some traffic violations that have criminal penalties associated with them. Our Colorado Springs traffic attorneys have successfully helped our clients with dismissals or reductions in all of these types of traffic violations:
A couple of traffic tickets will cost you time and money; a few more can raise your car insurance rates for years to come. One or two serious traffic violations could cost you your driver’s license and change the way you live. It pays to take traffic tickets seriously, especially if you’ve had a few tickets in the past few years or if your job depends on your driving ability.
While it may seem like a traffic ticket is not as serious as other traffic violations, fines can become overwhelming, take time out of your life, and lead to insurance consequences and increased financial burdens. Typically, people who have traffic tickets must take at least one day off work to attend the initial meeting with the prosecutor. That meeting usually involves hours of sitting around waiting for a 5-minute conversation with an overworked district attorney. If you choose not to attend court and just pay a fine, you might save yourself time, but you risk having multiple points assessed against your license and paying much more in a fine than you would if you attended the meeting in person. When you hire Right Law Group, we can handle most of the issues on your behalf, so you can get on with your life without any additional stress. Our initial consultation is free, so contact our office to see how we can take the stress out of this process.
If you have received a traffic ticket or a moving violation, we recommend that you consult with an experienced Colorado Springs traffic attorney. If you have been arrested or ticketed for a traffic violation, you need a defense that can significantly change the outcome of the case. Traffic charges can carry heavy financial penalties as well as the real possibility of going to jail. Our traffic defense attorneys analyze the case to see if the police officer’s equipment was malfunctioning or was poorly calibrated. We evaluate whether the officer had a valid reason to stop you and whether you were in a situation that forced you to commit the violation, such as being followed by another car or swerving to avoid a potential accident. These types of defenses can radically change the outcome of your case and potentially save you several points on your license and save you time and money.
