If there is a ticket for it, I have beaten it. We don't take prisoners. We don't go down there to schmooze or trade baby pictures with the Prosecutor. We go to WORK. Your driving record and pocketbook - short term and long term - are our chief concerns. We aren't there to accept the same "deal" that someone without an attorney gets. We have a solid, 2+ DECADE long body of work to point to. If your job or livelihood depend on winning, contact us. Telephone or e-mail are preferred.

This is an area of practice within the area of Administrative Law. We deal with all aspects of situations where your company, large or small, is subject to sanctions, from monetary to loss of commercial carrier no., to forced closure, that stem from allegations of unacceptable safety behavior. We can help you lessen the punishment, and to get your safety "act together". CALL US the moment you get notice of a safety audit. Time is of the essence!
