Experienced Defense Against Traffic Violations

No matter how good of a driver you are, sometimes we do things while behind the wheel that leads to a ticket. Whether you rolled through a stop sign or were speeding, you need a defense lawyer by your side who can help you deal with these tickets. Driving tickets can be serious, and if not handled they can add up and lead to more serious problems.

At Tobias Iszard, we want to make sure your rights are protected throughout the entire legal process, including during the stop. We have the experience necessary to build you a strong defense for any traffic violation.

Common Types Of Traffic Violations

There is a wide variety of reasons a police officer may pull someone over. Our attorneys can defend you against violations such as:

• Failure to completely stop at a red light or stop sign
• Excessive speeding
• Following too closely
• Reckless driving
• Driving while license is suspended or revoked
• Driving without a license

If you pay the ticket, you are pleading guilty. If you believe you received an unfair ticket or you would like to seek a reduction of the offense charged, it is important you contact a lawyer to discuss your options before you go to traffic court.

Appealing A Traffic Ticket

When you are pulled over, the officer will give you the reasons for the stop and issue you a ticket. Once you receive the ticket you have the option to fight it in court. Our lawyers will listen to your side of the story and investigate whether the stop was legal and if the infraction was committed.

Do not pay your ticket immediately and admit guilt. Get a lawyer who will be in your corner from the beginning and will defend your rights in and out of court.

We also work with people who live out of state, but have received a ticket in Virginia.

What Can a Traffic Violation Attorney Do for Me?

A traffic violation attorney specializes in handling cases related to traffic offenses. While traffic violations are generally considered less serious than felonies, they can still have significant consequences, including fines, license points, increased insurance rates, and even the suspension of driving privileges. Here's how a traffic violation attorney can assist you:

• Legal Advice and Guidance: A traffic violation attorney can provide you with advice specific to your case, explaining the charges, potential consequences, and available defenses.
• Understanding Traffic Laws: Attorneys are knowledgeable about traffic laws and regulations. They can help you understand the specific laws you are accused of violating and how they apply to your situation.
• Reducing Penalties: An attorney may negotiate with the prosecutor to reduce the penalties associated with your traffic violation, such as fines, points on your driving record, or the possibility of attending traffic school to mitigate the impact on your driving history.
• Dismissal of Charges: In some cases, a traffic violation attorney may identify legal defenses or procedural errors that could lead to the dismissal of the charges against you.
• Representation in Court: If your case goes to court, your attorney will represent you, presenting your defense and arguing on your behalf. This can be especially helpful if you are not familiar with courtroom procedures.
• Challenge Radar and Traffic Camera Evidence: Attorneys may challenge the accuracy and reliability of radar or traffic camera evidence used against you. They can question the calibration of devices and the circumstances under which the evidence was obtained.
• Negotiating with the Prosecutor: Your attorney may negotiate with the prosecutor to reach a favorable plea agreement. This could involve reducing the charges, negotiating a lower fine, or avoiding certain consequences.
• Handling Administrative Proceedings: Some traffic violations may result in administrative actions, such as license suspensions or revocations. An attorney can help you navigate these proceedings and work to minimize the impact on your driving privileges.
