Here’s the thing: Even though getting a traffic ticket or moving violation may not seem like a major issue, many times just paying a fine without fighting the ticket can have serious negative impacts on your license and your life. Aside from how a ticket affects your driving privilege, traffic tickets can also be expensive, time-consuming, and can have additional costs and fines.
This means higher insurance rates down the road, meaning you will pay a far higher cost in the long run. Some traffic violations also have the risk of losing your driver’s license or the possibility of jail time as a consequence.
The reality is that FIGHTING your moving violation is a better path because your probability 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 offenses that have criminal penalties associated with them.
Our Colorado Springs traffic lawyers have successfully helped our clients when dismissals or reductions on all of these types of traffic violations:
A few traffic tickets will cost you time and money; a few more may raise your car insurance rates for years to come. One or two serious traffic violations could cost you your driver’s license, and that will change your way of life. Talking to a criminal defense attorney can help you understand your options. It is worth it to take traffic tickets seriously, especially if you have had a few tickets in the past few years or if your job depends upon your ability to drive.
While it may seem like a traffic ticket is not as serious as other traffic violations, tickets can become overwhelming, taking time out of your life, leading to insurance consequences and increased financial burdens.
Usually, people with traffic tickets have to take at least one day off work just to attend the initial meeting with the DA. That meeting usually involves hours of sitting around waiting for a 5-minute conversation with an overworked DA.
If you fail to appear in court and just pay a fine, you could be saving yourself time, but you risk getting multiple points assessed against your license as well as paying far more on a ticket than you would if you attended the in-person meeting.

If you have received a traffic ticket or traffic violation, we recommend you consult an experienced Colorado Springs traffic lawyer. If you have been arrested or ticketed for a driving offense you need a defense that can significantly change the outcome of the case.
Traffic charges can carry hefty financial penalties as well as the real possibility of jail time. Our traffic defense attorneys analyze the case to see whether the police officer’s equipment was malfunctioning or improperly calibrated.
We evaluate whether the officer had a valid reason to stop you and whether you were in a situation that forced you into the violation such as being tailgated 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 multiple points on your license and save you time and money. Contact us today for a free consultation.
