A traffic offense can cost you time in jail, hefty fines and the loss of your driver’s license. Many people believe that traffic violations are insignificant, but each charge adds up and can eventually lead to serious consequences, especially if you didn’t challenge them in court. The lawyers at The Elliott Law Offices, P.C. have vast experience in defending traffic citations. We can work to protect your driving record.
