Criminal Traffic Tickets

Arizona is hard on traffic violations.

Relative to other states, Arizona has some harsh criminal traffic charges. Arizona has criminalized many activities that one can perform in a car, from driving too quickly, to having an expired registration in some cases. Most clients we work with on criminal traffic cases have never been charged with a crime before. Our clients are very concerned with mitigating any negative consequences that may result from a criminal conviction.

What is the goal in a criminal traffic case?

Usually, we are hired to try to avoid the criminal conviction as the primary goal, and we are frequently successful with that. A lot depends on the specific facts of the case, some of which cannot be known until the case is underway. It may not be an easy task to obtain a non-criminal resolution, but whatever the chances, they will significantly improve with the assistance of an experienced attorney. We attempt to negotiate a deal where the charge is reduced from criminal to civil (regular traffic ticket), or where the ticket may be resolved by taking a defensive driving class, if eligible.
