Why Should You Fight Your Traffic Tickets?

Getting charged with traffic violations can have a negative impact on both your present life and future goals. Once you pay the fines, you’ve basically admitted guilt, because paying those tickets will often lead to one or more of the following:

  • Traffic points- paying the fines often automatically adds 2-3 points to your driving license
  • Job loss for commercial drivers, and preventing them from getting even more jobs
  • Commercial drivers could also lose their driver’s license
  • Increased auto insurance rates- auto insurance rates are often based on your history as a driver. People without any points on their licenses tend to attract lower premiums compared to drivers with points on their license
  • Higher mortgage rates- insurance companies tend to favor low-risk individuals. Unfortunately, evidence of traffic violations automatically makes you a high-risk entity and ends up costing you more in mortgage rates

With competent Jefferson County traffic violations lawyers like Grafe & Batchelor Attorneys at Law, you may be able to prevent these.

We’ll provide you with a free case evaluation prior to hiring a traffic ticket lawyer in Jefferson County so that you can possibly avoid jail time by appearing in court, and we will look for ways to ensure that this mishap doesn’t show up on your driving record. We will also work to fix the charges so you never have to pay unreasonably high insurance premiums.

While no traffic ticket lawyer anywhere can honestly give you guarantees, Grafe & Batchelor Attorneys at Law have experience dealing with traffic ticket cases, and we are passionate about getting you a positive result. Some of the ways clients can be helped to fight their traffic violation cases in Jefferson County, MO, include:

  • Changing a traffic violation like a speeding ticket was amended to a non-moving violation. This helps keep your driving records spotless and your license free from any points
  • Petition the court to place you on a suspended imposition of sentence. That way, if you don’t get any extra violations while on probation, the court won’t convict you. This also means that you won’t pay any fines or have any points added to your license
  • Help to amend the charge from a more severe one to a less severe one. This might help prevent points on your license

There are many possibilities, and there are many ways to fight your charge. For instance, we might be able to work to get your case dismissed by identifying mistakes made by the arresting officer.
