For many drivers, occasional traffic violations may seem like a routine part of being on the road, akin to paying tolls or handling minor car repairs. While these infractions might not seem significant, the truth is that traffic offenses can carry substantial penalties and enduring repercussions. Infractions that might appear minor, such as rolling through a stop sign or exceeding the speed limit, can lead to the suspension of your driving privileges. On the other hand, more serious offenses like reckless driving or extreme speeding could result in criminal charges. At McMahon Law Offices, we serve clients facing a wide range of traffic violations and are committed to providing responsible, assertive legal representation throughout the legal process.

In many cases, a traffic violation is considered a relatively minor matter that is informally addressed by the court. Failing to address a citation, however, can escalate the situation significantly. Ignoring a traffic violation for an extended period may even result in a warrant being issued for your arrest. Certain moving violations can also lead to points on your driving record, substantial fines, and the potential loss of your driving privileges if you accumulate multiple offenses. Additionally, multiple traffic violations could cause your auto insurance premiums to rise.

The experienced attorneys at McMahon Law Offices understand that it may be possible to contest a traffic ticket or have the citation dismissed. We also recognize that sometimes, admitting guilt and paying the fine is the most appropriate course of action, and we can help you determine the best approach for your specific circumstances.
