Traffic Offenses and Violations
Leesburg, Virginia Traffic Violations Defense Lawyer
Although traffic tickets aren't technically a crime, one too many traffic tickets can have serious consequences. This is especially true in Virginia, where multiple speeding tickets or reckless driving charges can cause your drivers' license to be suspended or revoked by the DMV.
In addition, traffic violations become part of your driving record, your insurance file and, if it's a DWI charge, part of your criminal record. This makes it even more important to get legal advice before you decide to act, or not act, on a traffic ticket.
Don't just pay that ticket. Talk to a lawyer so you understand your options. Contact the Leesburg, Virginia Law Office of Patricia E. Tichenor, P.L.L.C.

The Good News and Bad News of Traffic Offenses
Drivers have had a bit of luck recently when the Virginia legislature decided that the "remedial fees" put in place last year were overly burdensome and unfair. They abolished the fee structure and struck down the fees, effective July 1, 2008.
But before you celebrate your good luck, you should realize that even without that particular fee you still face significant fees and fines, possible suspension or revocation or your license, and possible jail time (depending on the circumstances of your traffic offense).
