When You Face Traffic Charges
Many people don't take traffic violations seriously - especially traffic tickets for speeding and other minor offenses - until they pile up and start having major consequences. By hiring an attorney to represent you in traffic cases, you may protect yourself against future problems. Contact The Westerfield Law Firm, LLC to get a lawyer who can handle your traffic violation case.
Helping You Avoid the Consequences
of Colorado's Major Driving Offenses
If you are convicted of three major driving offenses over the course of seven years, you will face mandatory jail time and the loss of your license. Major driving offenses include:
- Reckless driving
- Driving while ability impaired (DWAI)
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Driving under license revocation
- Driving under suspended license
- Leaving the scene of an accident
- Failure to report an accident
- Hit-and-run
- Careless driving resulting in bodily injury
- Any other violation (including a speeding ticket) that is rated at eight points or higher
If you are charged with any of these offenses, The Westerfield Law Firm, LLC will help you explore your options. The firm will explore defenses that may help you defeat or reduce the charge.
Negotiating the Point System
Colorado has a point system for traffic violations. Whether you are convicted for a serious traffic violation or just paying the fine for a speeding ticket, points will be assessed against you. If you get 12 points in a 12-month period or 18 points in a 24-month period, you can lose your license. Having points assessed against you may cause an increase in your auto insurance rates.
By requesting a hearing on your traffic violation and having an attorney there with you, it may be possible to reduce the number of points assessed against you. If your license is suspended, you may be able to get a probationary license (PDO or "red light") that will allow you to drive to work and for other important purposes.
Whether the speeding tickets are piling up or you are being charged with a major offense like hit-and-run, contact The Westerfield Law Firm, LLC, and get a lawyer on your side.
