Fight Your Traffic Violation With Confidence

Traffic violations require a serious approach, as they can have a major impact on your future and finances.

People sometimes assume they just have to accept traffic violations, but it is important to know you can fight back after an arrest or citation.

He has served residents in the area since 1992, so you will get an experienced traffic violation attorney who can provide the guidance you need.

Common Types Of Traffic Violations

In Minnesota, you can face a traffic offense in several different ways, including:

  • DUI/DWI: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Reckless driving: Driving with a wanton disregard for others
  • Vehicular manslaughter: Causing the death of another through negligent driving
  • Driving on a suspended license: Driving before your license was reinstated after a DUI
  • Hit-and-run: Leaving the scene of an accident
  • Fleeing state patrol or a police officer: Failing to comply with officers as required

Many cases involve multiple charges, and the need for an attorney who understands what steps to take is urgent.

Penalties And Consequences

The penalties you face will depend on the type of traffic offense you are convicted of and whether you have previous offenses on your record. Typically, conviction often leads to significant fines and fees, license suspension, points on your driver’s license, higher insurance premiums and possible jail time. When serious charges arise, it could result in a felony record that lasts for life.

Cross-Border Issues In Minnesota And Wisconsin

There can be some unique challenges for residents who live near the Minnesota/Wisconsin border. Often, traffic violations in one state also apply in the other. If your license is suspended in Minnesota, for example, you cannot drive in Wisconsin. It is important to understand the exact impact when looking into your cross-border defense options.
