    Overview

    Protect Your Driving Record

    Common Questions

    Frequently AskedQuestions

    Q

    Should I just pay my traffic ticket?

    No. Paying a traffic ticket is an admission of guilt. It adds points to your record, raises your insurance, and can lead to license suspension if you accumulate too many points. Always consult an attorney first.

    Q

    How many points will a traffic ticket add to my license?

    It depends on the violation. In Maryland, most moving violations add 1-5 points. In DC, the point system varies. Accumulating too many points can trigger suspension. We fight to keep points off your record.

    Q

    Can a lawyer really help with a traffic ticket?

    Absolutely. We regularly get tickets dismissed, reduced to non-moving violations (zero points), or win at trial. The cost of representation is often far less than the long-term insurance increases from a conviction.

    Q

    Do I have to appear in court for a traffic ticket?

    In many cases, your attorney can appear on your behalf so you don't have to miss work. We handle the court appearance and fight for the best possible outcome.
