Aggressive Traffic Violation Representation

After you get a traffic ticket, it’s essential to consult with an experienced attorney instead of just paying the traffic citation. Paying the ticket is like pleading guilty to the traffic violation and can lead to increased insurance rates and a mark on your driving record, among other legal consequences. Depending on the type of traffic violation, often it's possible to avoid or significantly reduce the consequences of a traffic conviction with proper legal representation. Often, it’s possible not to be found “guilty” at trial or you can have the traffic violation against you dismissed by a judge. Our experienced Lombard traffic attorneys handle all types of traffic violations, including:

  • Speeding and aggravated speeding tickets;
  • Red light tickets;
  • Texting while driving;
  • Seatbelt violations;
  • Failure to obey traffic signals and signs;
  • Construction zone tickets;
  • Driving on a suspended or revoked license;
  • Driving without a license;
  • Driving without insurance;
  • Improper lane usage;
  • Reckless driving;
  • Fleeing the scene of a car accident;
  • Passing a school bus; 
  • Commercial driver’s license (CDL) tickets; and
  • Drunk driving.

Often, drivers don’t know that 3 convictions for moving violations within a 12-month period can cause a driver’s license suspension for at least three months. Because of the Graduated License Program in Illinois, it’s common for underage drivers to lose their driving privileges following moving violations. If you are under the age of 21, you only need to get 2 convictions for moving violations within a 24-month period for your driver’s license to be suspended.

Also, some traffic infractions can enhance the level of criminal charges. For instance, speeding 26 mph or over the speed limit is a Class B misdemeanor in Illinois. Other traffic violations such as drunk driving, driving on a revoked or suspended license, and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident are criminal offenses that can result in hefty fines and jail time. The experienced criminal defense attorneys at Dohman Law Group will fight fiercely to protect your rights and secure a favorable outcome.
