Traffic offenses range from minor offenses such as failing to observe traffic signals to more severe offenses such as driving under the influence of alcohol or driving while your driver's license is suspended. The punishments imposed for convictions of traffic offenses can range from small fines or court supervision to a suspended license or jail time.

Traffic violations also can lead to serious legal and practical consequences, including the creation of a permanent criminal record, the loss of a driver's license, and higher insurance premiums. An attorney familiar with traffic law can be an invaluable advisor to you in avoiding or reducing the severity of the punishments imposed for and the practical effects of a traffic offense conviction.
