​

• Speeding Tickets
  Representation speeding cases, including school zone and work zone tickets and tickets at high speeds with a focus on avoiding preventable points on your driving record and insurance points, negotiating reductions to lower speeds or nonmoving violations when appropriate, and advising on when a Prayer for Judgment Continued should or should not be used.

​

• Car Accident Related Charges

Representation in accident related citations such as Unsafe Movement, Failure to Reduce Speed, Following Too Closely, Failure to Yield, and similar charges, with a focus on protecting your driving record and insurance while also considering how any plea or conviction may affect related civil claims for injury or property damage.
