St Charles Traffic Violations Attorneys

Lawyers for Traffic Citations in Kane County

While they are often overlooked as unimportant, traffic violations can lead to serious consequences. A single traffic ticket will often require a person to pay fines, and their insurance rates may increase. Multiple traffic violations within a limited period of time can lead to the suspension of a person's driver's license. Some violations may even result in criminal charges. By addressing these issues correctly, you can determine what steps to take to avoid consequences that could cause financial difficulties or lead to other difficulties in your life.

Offenses like speeding and running red lights, though seemingly minor, can cost you your driving privileges. You need to understand what you can do to fight against violations and minimize the effects they may have on you and your family. At Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC, we recognize the impact that traffic violations can have on your life, and we take such matters very seriously. We offer assistance to clients facing any type of traffic citation, and we are proud to provide responsible, cost-effective representation.

Traffic Violation Consequences

When you are pulled over and issued a traffic citation, it is important to understand how the ticket can affect you. In most cases, a traffic violation is a fairly minor offense that is handled on an informal basis by the court. You may appear in court to address the citation, or you may simply choose to pay the fine. However, if you do pay a traffic ticket, you are essentially pleading guilty to the violation, and you will not be able to contest it later. If you do not address the issue properly, however, even a lesser violation can be extremely costly. Failure to appear in court when required, pay any applicable fines, or submit notice that you are challenging the violation will result in the suspension of your driver's license due to a "failure to appear."

Offenses classified as moving violations may result in costly fines and points assessed to your driving record. If you receive at least three moving violations within 12 months, your license will be suspended, and the number of points on your record will determine the length of the suspension. Drivers under 21 years old who accumulate two moving violations in a period of 24 months will automatically have their license suspended.

Certain traffic violations, including offenses that cause injury, death, or serious property damage, may also result in misdemeanor or felony criminal charges. Criminal charges carry significantly more severe consequences, potentially including jail time.
