Edgemere Traffic Ticket Attorney
Proven Traffic Ticket and Violation Defense
Most of us, at one time or another, have failed to put the proper importance on a situation in our lives. We may have considered the problem to be relatively minor or a nuisance. At times, we have gotten away with ignoring it or not handling it in a correct manner. Unfortunately, when an individual adopts a similar approach regarding traffic tickets, the consequences can frequently be much harsher than imagined.
At the Law Office of David Cahn, I provide committed traffic ticket defense for those who have been charged with moving violations or received written traffic violation tickets. As a proven Edgemere traffic ticket lawyer, I assist those charged with driving without a license, DUI/DWI offenses, operating an uninsured vehicle, alleged hit and run incidents, driving on a suspended license and more. I also help residents who have received red light, speeding and other forms of tickets.
Contact my firm for help fighting your traffic ticket!
I began my legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Kings County District Attorney's Office in Brooklyn, New York. While a member of this office I prosecuted thousands of cases from attempted murder to DWI/DUI crimes. I know the criminal justice system extremely well, including how police and prosecutors build and try cases.
My work as a prosecutor brings invaluable and unique experience to your case as I know how the other side works. The most common occupation in Edgemere is driver/sales workers and this presents ample opportunity for traffic violations to occur. For years, I have helped to safeguard people against criminal charges and look forward to the opportunity to assist you or a family member. My firm offers a free case evaluation so that you can understand your legal options and what can be done to best defend you.
It is important that you know that a traffic ticket is similar to being charged with a crime. The sole fact of being arrested does not mean that you are guilty or should act as though you will be convicted. Likewise, simply because a ticket has been issued does not mean it must be paid. By paying your ticket or citation, you are admitting guilt and assuring your conviction. What if you are not guilty of the offense? Perhaps, there are circumstances that justify what occurred. In addition, do you have to suffer the full penalties that can be given out by the law or is there a way to get these reduced?
Having Your License Revoked or Suspended for Traffic Violations
If you are found guilty of a traffic violation, you will have to pay a fine but there are more serious considerations as well. You can accumulate marks or points against your driving record plus other potential penalties. Whether you depend on driving for your job or for the everyday chores and pleasures of life, traffic violation points have the power to limit employment opportunities. If you are commercial driver, they can cost you your job. With some traffic violations, your license can be suspended or, in severe cases, you will have your license revoked. With an experienced attorney, you have a chance to fight conviction.
In our state, your license can be revoked if you accumulate 12 or more points against your record within a two-year period. Not only will you be without transportation, you will have to reapply for a license with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration. In addition to penalties such as large fines and incarceration, driving while under the influence is a 12-point violation. If convicted, your license will be revoked. I know how to defend DWI and DUI charges and the manner in which police compile the evidence that will be used against you. I also understand how to find and exploit any weak points in a prosecutor's case.
If you are found guilty of driving without insurance, you can be fined up to $1,000, have to pay uninsured motorist fees of up to $2,500 per year, face license suspension and be jailed for up to 1 year. Even for a first-time offense of driving without a license, you can be fined up to $500 and be jailed for 60 days. A red light violation is 2 points against your record, failure to stop for flashing school bus lights is assessed 3 points and these are just a few examples.
A police officer can say many things to get you to make statements that will be used to convict you. The alternative is to have legal representation from my firm. I work hard to keep your driving privileges intact and to preserve your driving record.
