Five Reasons You Should Hire An Attorney For Your Traffic Ticket

If you've been cited for a traffic violation in Virginia, the next step is deciding what to do about it. You could represent yourself in court, but that's not always the best idea. Hiring an experienced attorney can save you time, money and energy - and may even protect you from a wide variety of potential negative consequences. In every case you would benefit from at least speaking with an experienced lawyer before going to court.

Here are five reasons why hiring an attorney in your Virginia traffic ticket case is a good idea:

First, an attorney can help you understand the charges against you and what options you have for resolving them. Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible to get the charges reduced or dismissed entirely.

Second, an attorney can negotiate a favorable plea agreement with the prosecutor on your behalf. This can save you time and money, and may even keep points off your driving record.

Third, an attorney can represent you in court if necessary. He or she will know the ins and outs of the legal process and how to best argue your case.

Fourth, an attorney can help you keep your driving record clean. A traffic ticket can add points to your license and lead to increased insurance rates. An attorney can often get traffic tickets reduced or dismissed, which keeps the points off your license and saves you money.

Finally, an attorney is someone you can rely on for support and guidance throughout the process. He or she will be there to answer your questions and help you make the best decisions for your case.
