Pennsylvania Careless Driving Lawyer
A speeding ticket or citation for reckless driving can result in a fine and higher insurance premiums. Too many violations during a period may lead to the loss of your driver's license. Rather than simply paying a fine and admitting guilt, you should speak with an experienced traffic violations attorney. There may be a way to overcome the charge or get it reduced to a lesser charge.
I am Theodore H. Swan, Jr., an experienced criminal defense attorney. I represent people accused of reckless driving, careless driving, speeding, and other traffic offenses in Montgomery County and Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Call me at (215) 884-6743 or send an e-mail for a free consultation. I can provide you with honest opinion about your situation and discuss what I can do to help you avoid additional points on your license.
Avoiding or Minimizing Points
I will represent you in court in an effort to overcome the charge and avoid points, or to minimize the points you receive.
In a speeding ticket case for example, I may be able to overcome the charge on technical or legal grounds — or negotiate a plea to a lower speed. A reckless driving charge is serious, but even here it may be possible to demonstrate that your driving behavior did not fit the definition of reckless driving as outlined in the statute. If that is not possible, I may be able to negotiate a plea to careless driving instead.
Extra Points Can Cost You Money
Even just a few extra points on your license can lead dramatically to higher insurance premiums, in addition to the traffic fine. You can refer to the PennDot Point Schedule to see where you stand.
By hiring a lawyer to represent you, you may be able to reduce or avoid extra points altogether. This can pay for itself many times over, and reduce your insurance premiums by hundreds or thousands of dollars.
In most cases, you will have to make a court appearance. However, I will handle all aspects of your case and speak for you. You will have the confidence of knowing that an experienced attorney is on your side — working to protect your driving privileges.
