Traffic Violation Defense
Mounting a vigorous traffic violation defense is critically important, especially for a serious traffic violation such as a DUI or reckless driving. The more severe the violation, the harsher the penalties for a conviction. For example, you could be at risk of losing your driving privileges if you have too many points on your driving record. In addition, your auto insurance rates could spike (with increases over the course of three years). Depending on your profession, you could be at risk of losing your livelihood (e.g., if you operate a commercial vehicle, work for a delivery service such as InstaCart or DoorDash, etc.). These ramifications are why it is recommended to contact a traffic violation attorney in Marin County to discuss your legal options.
Get Your Traffic Violations Cleared
Under California law, a speeding ticket can remain on your driving record for years into the future. For example, many one-point traffic violations remain on your record for up to three years. If you incur a two-point violation, that could stay on your record for seven years. The duration of a traffic violation, along with its lingering adverse impact on your driving record, are significant reasons why you should speak to an experienced speeding ticket lawyer in Marin County. They can assess your situation to determine if it’s possible to get the traffic charges dismissed or dropped.
DMV Hearings
If you opt to fight the traffic citation, making an in-person appearance at a DMV hearing may be necessary. Traffic ticket cases in Marin County are heard in the Marin County Superior Court, specifically within the Hall of Justice on Floor C. Generally, a traffic ticket trial will take place in Courtrooms P and N in front of Superior Court Commissioners. Appearing before the Commissioners can be intimidating and overwhelming, which is why you should have a seasoned dmv hearing lawyer by your side. When you retain the services of a dmv hearing attorney, they will be your advocate and fight for your best interests.
