People Ask: Is It Possible To Handle A Traffic Ticket Without An Attorney?

The answer is YES, but that is not the right question.

You should be asking:

• Do I have a high tolerance for aggravation?
• Do I mind being inconvenienced?
• Do I feel comfortable in a strange situation?
• Am I concerned about the best possible results?

Think about this even further. Are you one of those people who like to change the oil in their car, fix their washing machine, tile their bathroom, and repair a leaky faucet: Do you relish the idea of being self-sufficient; enjoy a challenge or do you attempt these tasks because you are worried about the expense of hiring a professional?

Professionals have experience. They are specifically trained. They save time and may get a better outcome. Sometimes, they might even save you money in the long run. This is especially true when hiring an attorney to handle your traffic ticket.

Additional questions to ask before you decide to handle it yourself.

• Do you want to keep track of the court dates?
• Do you want to take time from work or other daily responsibilities?
• Do you know what to say when you meet the prosecutor?
• Will the police officer be there?

If you decide to represent yourself, these are just some of the questions you will have to deal with. The other alternative: hire an experienced traffic attorney for a reasonable fee and not worry about it. Let your attorney do the work.

Here Is What I Will Do.

Once I receive your ticket, I will forward it to the court and advise them that you are now represented by an attorney. I will keep track of all court dates. Once I receive a court date, we will discuss all circumstances surrounding your ticket. I will then attend court on your behalf. You do not have to be present. On the court date, I will negotiate with the prosecutor, who I have developed a relationship with. Applying over 30 years of practice, I will obtain the best possible disposition in your case. Then it is up to me to appear before the presiding judge and convince him/her to accept the agreement reached with the prosecutor and to impose the most reasonable fine possible.

When the matter is concluded, I will contact you with the results.

Could You Have Obtained The Same Results Without An Attorney?

Very possible, but doesn’t it stand to reason that an attorney who does this for a living will be more likely to achieve the best plea offer. As a defense attorney, I can work with the prosecutor on your behalf. The choice is yours. No worry and aggravation or fear of the unknown.
