After receiving a traffic ticket, many drivers simply accept the consequences and pay it, even if they believe the officer was mistaken or being unfair. The accused often don't realize that fighting tickets is even possible or may think a citation has only minor consequences. However, the fines associated with your violation can be considerable along with increased insurance premiums and other penalties. The Michael A. Newland Law Office, an experienced criminal attorney based in Hamilton, recommends contacting a traffic lawyer for several scenarios.

Call his law office if any of the following relates to your case:

• The Ticket Was Incorrect: In some cases, officers may claim to have witnessed something that they could not possibly have seen from their vantage point or offer other contradictions in their official report. A traffic lawyer can review your case for inconsistencies that may allow them to have your charges dismissed or reduced.
• You Were Pulled Over In A Distant City: Some charges require you to appear in court before a judge even if you were pulled over several states away. A local traffic lawyer can attend the proceedings as your legal representative, at least sparing you the expense of traveling back to the source of the citation.
• You Are Facing Criminal Charges: Some charges, such as DUIs or reckless driving, have serious consequences that can dramatically impact your life for years to come. With these more serious charges, you'll almost always be better off with an experienced professional representing your interests and standing up for your rights.
