Providing Aggressive Traffic Defense in the Central Valley

Michael E. Mitchell is an experienced traffic ticket attorney.  He appreciates and understands the impact that a conviction for a moving offense may have on your driver’s license.  In addition, we are especially familiar with the traffic courts in Fresno, Coalinga, Firebaugh, Tulare, Merced, and Madera.  We handle cases such as evading, speeding, reckless driving, driving on a suspended or revoked license, exhibition of speed, hit and run, or any other traffic infraction. 

A traffic offense can drastically impact your insurance rates and/or result in a suspension depending on the offense or the amount of points you have acquired on your driving record. We may be able to help drivers charged with speeding over 100 miles per hour or charged with exhibition of speed where the driver may face a possible license suspension.  With the help of a traffic attorney who knows what he is doing, these cases, many times, can be reduced to a lesser violation where you may be able to attend traffic school and get the case removed from your record- provided you are eligible to attend traffic school. Often, we save clients the cost of paying our fees, just based upon the reduction in fine amount!! 

In addition, commercial drivers are at risk for loss of employment due to excessive points on their driving record. Due to changes in the law, commercial drivers are no longer able to go to traffic school to remove points from their driving record.  However, there are ways for commercial drivers to get the benefit of a dismissal of the traffic offense through negotiated plea bargains with the officer who issued the citation and the court.  In addition, the charge can also be amended to a non-moving violation and a corresponding fee reduction.  This is not possible in every case and is up to the discretion of the court. 

We also represent clients at the DMV when they face suspension for being a negligent operator or having too many points on their record. We may be able to help you avoid suspension or be placed on probation in lieu of suspension. 

Why Should I Hire an Attorney Experienced in Traffic Defense?

By hiring an attorney who is knowledgeable about traffic infractions, the California Vehicle Code, and the California Evidence Code, you are placing yourself in a better position to be able to contest your traffic ticket.  Our office has handled hundreds, if not thousands, of traffic related offenses.  We have appeared in court in every county in the Central Valley and you can rest assured you will receive the best defense possible.  We know the ins and outs of the court system and the tips and tricks that will make the difference in whether your case is won or lost.  If you've picked up a traffic ticket in Fresno, Coalinga, Firebaugh, Madera, Tulare, Merced, or any other area in the San Joaquin Valley, give Michael E. Mitchell a call today to see how he may be able to help you avoid a traffic conviction, fines, and increased insurance rates. (over 100 we may be able to help you avoid a suspension as well.)
