One of the greatest advantages of hiring a Michigan Traffic Attorney is the connections they bring to the process.Many of lawyers are trained and skilled in the nuances of Michigan law to help you fully leverage their knowledge to your advantage.

Michigan is a state with a points system where every point matters and they can add up to license suspensions, revocations, all in addition to state imposed Driver’s Responsibility Fees (Drivers with seven points or more on their driving record will receive yearly fee assessments). In Michigan, once points have been added to your record after a conviction, they cannot be removed for 2 years. That is precisely why you need to take every speeding ticket very seriously.  Consulting with an attorney experienced in handling Michigan traffic cases can greatly increase your chances of either reducing charges or even eliminating them all together.

There is a direct correlation between automobile insurance rates and traffic tickets. Drivers who speed, disobey red lights, or fail to heed other signals or signs on the roadway are statistically more likely to cause damage to people and/or property. Such drivers are the ones most likely to experience automobile insurance increases.  Make sure your attorney intimately understand the correlation of traffic tickets and insurance rates in order to best serve you.

Additionally, according to Michigan Law some traffic violations are civil infractions while others are misdemeanors or felonies.  Depending on the violation and how it is resolved, you may be fined, referred to a special program or, in the most serious situations, sent to jail. In most cases, if you do not take care of a traffic ticket, your driver’s license will be suspended.  Having an attorney both knowledgeable and compassionate about your situation is important during this process.

Each time you are convicted of a traffic violation, you will have to pay certain court fines and costs. In addition, points may be posted to your driver record. Under Michigan’s point system, each traffic violation has a point value, which is set by law in the Michigan Vehicle Code. Points are placed on your driver record only after you have been convicted or found guilty of or responsible for a civil infraction. The Secretary of State cannot set aside a court conviction or the points for it.

So the next time you are faced with overwhelming traffic charges, don’t hesitate to consult with a Michigan Traffic Attorneys.  Typically they know the prosecutor and the judge and can negotiate a better deal than you could on your own.For this reason, looking for an lawyer who practices in the county where you were ticketed is particularly helpful.
