Traffic Cases

There are several ways a Vinings traffic ticket attorney like Joel Baskin can be a great help if you have received a traffic ticket or been charged with a more serious traffic violation such as DUI.

• Your traffic attorney can consult & advise 
  He can analyze the specifics of your case and advise you on the best legal options that will help you achieve the best possible outcome.
• Your traffic attorney can negotiate for you
  An experienced lawyer, especially in serious traffic violation cases, can negotiate with the prosecuting attorney to seek reduced charges, reduced jail time and/or penalties, and other results you are not aware of.
• Your traffic attorney may help keep insurance premiums down
  By working to get your traffic case dismissed, or charges reduced among other things your attorney may be able to keep points off your license which could result in higher insurance premiums.
• Your traffic attorney can represent you in court
  For serious traffic cases such as DUI, or any type of ticket that could result in loss of driving privileges, an experienced traffic ticket attorney can present an organized defense. By clearly presenting the facts, focusing on many smaller details and drawing attention away from details that could hurt your case, he can help influence a better outcome.

Georgia uses a point system for traffic violations. Assorted traffic offenses are assigned different point values. If you are convicted of traffic violations that add up to 15 points or within a certain number of months, you are at risk of having your license suspended. Points for out of state violations are added to any accrued in Georgia. Drivers under the age of 21 will lose their driver’s license with any 4 point violation or an accumulation of 4 points while under the age of 21.

An experienced East Point traffic ticket attorney can often negotiate for a lesser charge to keep points off your license so your insurance premium will not be affected and driving privileges can be maintained.
