Speeding?

Image
When faced with a speeding ticket, most people have the impulse to simply pay it off and avoid court. Other people choose to ignore it and not come to court. Neither of these is a safe approach. You should talk to an attorney before pleading guilty to any traffic offense, and you shouldn't let that citation sit too long before action. http://www.cabarruscriminaldefenseattorney.com/Cabarrus-County-Speeding-Ticket-Lawyers-Serving-Cabarrus-County.asp

A DWI conviction can have high fines

Image
Even if a guilty plea is appropriate, there are approximately 30 different factors that the court will look at in a DWI or DUI case to determine the punishment for the offense. Such factors include, the level of alcohol involved, prior DUI / DWI convictions and whether you had a valid license at the time of arrest. Attorney Baker will look at all these factors, to determine where you stand. In addition, the familiarity she has with the law and the local justice system can make a real difference. A DWI conviction can have fines as high as $4,000. The amount of the fine is somewhat up to the presiding judge's discretion, however; by statute, there are limitations on how much you can be taxed. By understanding what your punishment would be if you simply pleaded guilty, our Cabarrus DWI office can usually negotiate a much more favorable sentence. http://www.cabarruscriminaldefenseattorney.com/Cabarrus-County-DUI-Attorneys.asp
