Providing Aggressive Traffic Defense

At the Law Office of Michael E. Mitchell, we are experienced in representing clients who have received a ticket or citation for a traffic offense.  We appreciate the impact that a conviction for a moving offense may have on your driver’s license.  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. 

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.  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.
