A Traffic Attorney can be your best friend if you get a traffic ticket and the consequences of the ticket and ensuing trial are not clear to you. The Traffic lawyer can inform you of the issues you might be facing depending on the seriousness of the infraction. Perhaps it is a misdemeanor and in some states there are some traffic laws that result in automatic license suspension and worse, jail time.

A Traffic Attorney can advise you:

 
  • About Insurance points or driver's license points that can be accrued with the conviction.
  • When insurance points increase so can the cost of your car insurance. This is many times a significant raise in the cost.
  • When driver's license points increase they do so because the end result will be the revocation of your driving license. So a Traffic attorney can sometimes help you avoid these situations.
  • A Traffic Attorney might be able to make a plea bargain that can help prevent bad consequences such as jail, probation or community service hours.
  • Sometimes a Traffic Attorney can represent you in court and you won't have to miss work. It is your lawyer's duty to look out for your best interest.

When you are arrested you are considered innocent till proven guilty and one of those cases which carries severe punishments is drunk driving. A Traffic Attorney can devise the best case strategy and defense. Often the Traffic Attorney can negotiate for limited driving privileges instead of suspension. Limited privileges allow you to drive to and from your job and for other necessary purposes.

Most Traffic Attorneys provide the following services, but you should always confirm to become familiar with your Traffic Attorney and his fees.
 
  1. The Traffic Attorney often challenges any license suspension. Verify if there will be any additional cost for this.
  2. Confirm that your Traffic Attorney will file for your permit to drive for necessary purposes during a suspension of driving privileges. Again, confirm any additional costs for this service.
  3. Most Traffic Attorneys charge per appearance in court for continuances, motions and trials.

To feel comfortable with a Traffic Attorney you should know his background. He must have been admitted to the bar and qualified to work in your jurisdiction. A good Traffic Attorney should be familiar with the court, the judge and specific laws in your city, county and state. Many Traffic Attorneys promise to help you avoid ticket charges. The attorney with 5 to 10 years experience in traffic court should be able to tell you about these possibilities in your case. Yes, experience matters.

Average salaries of all Traffic Attorneys listed were calculated by Simplyhired. The Average is $58K and that will depend on the experience, location and firm. Traffic Attorneys are found in local firms and large firms. They are typically hired for their services just as any attorney in the firm would be. The actual salary can be much higher depending on the lawyer’s qualifications. Job Outlook for Traffic Attorneys will be ongoing as long as law enforcement keeps writing new tickets.
