    Frequently AskedQuestions

    Q

    What makes a traffic violation 'criminal'?

    Criminal traffic violations involve willful or reckless behavior that endangers others. They're prosecuted as criminal cases with potential jail time, unlike civil traffic infractions that only carry fines and points.

    Q

    Will a criminal traffic charge show up on background checks?

    Yes, criminal traffic convictions appear on criminal background checks and can impact employment, housing, and professional licensing opportunities for years.

    Q

    Can criminal traffic charges be reduced to civil violations?

    In many cases, yes. Experienced defense attorneys can negotiate plea agreements that reduce criminal charges to civil traffic infractions, avoiding a permanent criminal record.
