How a Traffic Attorney Can Help You in Woodbridge Township
As was hinted at above, it is imperative that you obtain legal counsel to fight these charges for a number of reasons. First and foremost, if you accumulate a certain number of points on your license, 12 or more in the State of New Jersey, your license will be suspended. This is particularly important when one considers that you can only lose points from your license once given if you manage to not obtain a ticket for one calendar year. Even when you do manage to avoid getting a ticket for a year, the reduction in points from your license is only three points per year, meaning all it would take is one big points speeding ticket for you to be right back where you started. Avoidance of loss of license should be yours and your attorney’s first goal in dealing with your traffic offense. Loss of license, apart from the inconvenience it poses to the driver, can also have far more sweeping consequences, like potentially loss of employment if you are unable to get to work now.
Your attorney’s second goal should be minimizing your exposure to fines and surcharges that are often associated with a broad array of these moving violations. While usually the fines range from a few hundred dollars up to a few thousand dollars, a conviction could have much bigger effects in its relation to its ability to increase your cost of automobile insurance. Therefore you want an attorney who is focused on minimizing your exposure to fines and penalties, in addition to protecting your right to drive in the state of New Jersey.
Last, but certainly not least, there are a small number of traffic offenses that are severe enough to lead to the possibility of incarceration. If you have had the misfortune to commit a traffic violation that could potentially open you up to spending time behind bars, you cannot afford to be without not only competent, but the best representation that you can afford to hire on your matter.
