Phoenix, Arizona Traffic Violations Lawyers
It is a very rare driver who does not occasionally speed or roll through a stop sign. To most drivers, the motivation to avoid "getting a ticket" is to avoid the embarrassment or inconvenience of being stopped by the police, and not to pay a fine. But the stakes may be much higher than that. A traffic violation can actually be a criminal offense. You may be charged with criminal speeding if you are going faster than 21 miles over the speed limit. Even a "simple speeding ticket" could result in jail time, or much higher insurance rates (or insurance cancellation).

There May be a Good Explanation
You may have panicked when the police stopped you with lights flashing, and forgotten that your driver's license was tucked away in the glove compartment or in a brief case in the back seat. You may have been speeding because you were on your way to the hospital where your spouse was in the emergency room. Any number of personal circumstances may be of interest when an experienced lawyer argues your case before a prosecutor.
