Traffic Offenses: Why you need an attorney
Receiving a traffic ticket for speeding may not be a problem for the average driver, but tickets minor as speeding to as serious as DUI have different penalties associated with them. And if you have had tickets in the past, you should be aware of your license status before you simply pay the ticket or go to court and accept a deal offered by the district attorney. Sometimes it isn't the consequences in court that are the most devastating, it's the actions of the department of motor vehicles in suspending your license after you have entered a plea. The district attorney won't tell you what effect your plea will have on your ability to drive your car. Make sure that you know before you take a deal.

The consequences of receiving a traffic ticket can be significant, including fines and even serving time in jail. But it doesn’t end there. Traffic tickets can also have significant effects upon your license to drive a car and your insurance rates. In El Paso County, Deputy District Attorneys handle up to 30,000 cases per year in County Court. They don’t have time to sit down and really look at your case, or really take the time necessary to decide whether there is merit to the charges that have been made against you. That’s why you need an experienced attorney on your side. The District Attorney’s Office has investigators and entire police departments helping them decide your fate. You need someone telling your side of the story. You need someone fighting for you.
