Our office also represents clients involved in traffic offenses, including moving violations such as careless driving, speeding, driving without insurance and driving with a suspended license. These offenses can have a negative impact on your driving record, incur substantial fines, increase your car insurance premiums and result in a loss of your license — or even in jail time.
