More information about our Elgin Traffic Ticket Lawyer

A Traffic Ticket May Have Lingering Effects

You might think that paying a traffic ticket is the easiest way out, but in most cases paying a ticket is a guilty plea. A conviction may show on your driving record, add points, raise your insurance rates or cause problems when several violations occur close together. Three qualifying traffic convictions in 12 months can lead to license suspension in Illinois. Under 21 drivers can lose their license after 2 moving violations in a 24 month period. Knowing the possible long term effects before paying a ticket can be helpful.

Know Your Rights Under Illinois Law

The proper defense depends on the charge, your driving record, the evidence against you, and the policies of the court that is hearing the case. Depending on the situation, possible outcomes include negotiating for a reduced charge, asking for court supervision or challenging the evidence or preparing for a hearing. Successful completion of court supervision may prevent entry of a conviction, but it is not available in every case. More serious charges need more attention. For instance, going 26 miles per hour or more over the speed limit can be charged as a misdemeanor instead of a simple petty traffic offense.

Reliable Advice from an Elgin Traffic Ticket Lawyer

O’Flaherty Law reviews the citation, the situations leading up to the stop, your driving record, and the possible results of each choice. When appropriate, our legal team can tell you what to expect, communicate with the prosecutor, and represent you in court. You have the resources of the larger firm, but still get the personal attention and clear communication. No attorney can promise an outcome, but the sooner you respond, the more time you have to write a well thought out response.
