Like most motorists, you will likely receive a traffic ticket or be stopped by the police at least once in your lifetime. Minor traffic violations such as speeding or double parking generally are classified as "infractions" that are not punishable by jail time. There are also major traffic infractions that are classified as misdemeanors and felonies and do impose jail time. Whether minor or major, traffic infractions can have an adverse affect on your insurance, your license, and of course your wallet. Let our firm assist in you in having infractions reduced, DMV “points” lowered, fines and surcharges mitigated, and the value of your time and peace of mind saved.
