traffic cases
Your driving privileges are one of your most important rights. How else can you get to work, go to the grocery store, or pick up your kids? Many people foolishly plead guilty to traffic violations that increase their insurance premiums and put their driving privileges at risk. The right ticket to retain my services is your first ticket: the future can hold unexpected tickets with harsh consequences. It is much easier, and less expensive, to prevent a license suspension, than it is to reinstate a suspended or revoked license.
What can happen to me as a result of a traffic arrest or traffic ticket?
- Jail (some serious traffic offenses are Class A misdemeanors punishable by up to one year in jail)
- Loss of license (especially drivers under 21 years of age)
- Probation
- Public service sentences
- Fines and costs totaling thousands of dollars
- Dramatic increases in auto insurance premiums
- Loss of job (truck drivers and other commercial operators)
How can Attorney Michael T. Cavanaugh help?
- Dismissal through a Motion to Quash Arrest and Suppress Evidence
- Negotiated settlements that ensure that your ticket will not enter on your driving record
- Plea bargains to reduced charges
- Negotiated settlements that keep you out of jail, keep your license, and minimize fines & costs
- Aggressive trial strategies to fight the case against you
Is time important?
- Absolutely!
- Trial demands should immediately be filed in most cases
- My initial interview should be done within 1-2 days of the arrest. Memories fade and evidence disappears with time.
- Same day appointments are always available with my office
- Evenings and weekends (Saturday & Sunday) by appointment
