Before you decide whether to pay the fine or to schedule a hearing, you should find out what the consequences of the citation will be. All moving violations result in points charged against your driver's license. An accumulation of too many points will result in certain consequences such as higher car insurance premiums, being required to attend driver improvement school or even to be suspended from driving. Call an experienced lawyer to effectively handle any driving offense you need help with. If you are charged with a offense that could result in incarceration or loss of your licence, you need a lawyer.
Police officers are human and prone to make mistakes, also.
An attorney may be able to better represent your explanation in cases where you feel an error in judgment was made. For instance, attorneys can meet with the police officer, state trooper or Commonwealth's Attorney and agree to a lesser charge. By obtaining an attorney, a judge is more open to hearing your case if you are serious about having your case reviewed. If the charge is reduced or dismissed you can save beyond your attorney's fee by keeping your insurance premiums low. The potential of personal and property loss from the action has had an incredible impact on the way the court system views the offense in the last twenty years.
