Consequences of Traffic Violations

There are many reasons to call an attorney after a traffic violation, regardless of the severity of that violation. The possible consequences of those traffic violations can put a permanent mark on your driving record and affect you for years down the road. If you are just passing through Maryland and are cited for a traffic violation, your driving record in your home state may be effected.

These consequences include a suspended or revoked license, large fines, higher insurance rates, points on a license that can eventually lead to a license suspension or revocation, and even jail time. Certain violations, such as DUIs and DWIs, can even result in the loss of professional licenses or commercial driving licenses.

Drunk Driving - DUI and DWI Representation

More serious traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI), can result in lengthy jail times, skyrocketing insurance rates and more. It is important to call an attorney sooner rather than later if you or a loved one has been arrested for a DUI or DWI, and make sure you or your loved one does not talk to the authorities without an attorney present.

A lawyer hired to represent you in these cases can investigate the initial stop and the arrest to make sure they were legal and may be able to lower penalties for a conviction, including the avoidance of jail time.
