Expert Advice When You Need It Most

I got two speeding tickets in the last month. Can a lawyer get the points reduced?

I just want to know how good my chances are at getting the points reduced. I drive for a living and I will lose my job if I can't get the points reduced. Both tickets are for going 43 in a 30.

This does not appear to me to be a question about an appeal. You have two outstanding tickets and need to protect your license for employment reasons. The best course is to get a traffic attorney to go to court with you on the appointed dates. You don't need an appellate attorney.

Speak immediately to an attorney who regularly handles traffic tickets in the court where you are ordered to appear.

An experienced attorney will be able to inform you of your options in that court.

Have a good day!
