Dayton Ohio Traffic Tickets
Dayton Ohio Traffic Tickets
You’ve received a traffic ticket. Maybe you were cited for speeding, driving without a valid Driver’s License, had inadvertently let your insurance lapse, or perhaps you caused an automobile accident. Perhaps you even received the traffic citation in an area known for cracking down on drivers, such as Kettering, Centerville, or Oakwood. You might be thinking, “There’s no point in fighting it”, “I was guilty after all”, or “I should just go ahead and pay the fine”. Before you jump to any of those conclusions, though, you may want to think again.
While you consider whether you need to obtain an attorney, the most important thing for you to remember is that each and every traffic citation and situation is very unique and fact specific. There may be defenses or issues of which you may be unaware… issues that an attorney can recognize. The time of day, road conditions, specific circumstances, whether the police followed certain protocol, your overall and recent driving record, and the driving record of any other drivers, all are critical factors in determining how your case can be resolved. As your attorney, we will look at the law and how it relates to the specific facts of your case, and then determine how best to attack your traffic citation.
People have many different reasons for wanting to fight a speeding ticket or obtain an attorney to represent them in a traffic matter. Some people already have several points on their driving record and can’t afford any more. Others hold CDL licenses and can’t risk any blemish that might affect their livelihood. Still others sometimes want to fight a traffic citation merely for principle or to fight some perceived wrong.
Once you retain our firm to represent you, when permitted by rule, we will schedule a Pre-Trial with the Prosecutor in the Court where you received your ticket. At the Pre-Trial, your attorney will review the evidence the State has against you, such as your actual citation, witness statements, your own written statement, photographs, or any accident report. If there are issues that could get your ticket dismissed, we will aggressively pursue those issues. If not, we will work to resolve your case by obtaining the best outcome possible.
How Much Do We Charge To Defend Your Dayton Ohio Traffic Tickets Matter?
