The Anand Law Firm, LLC Specializes in Traffic Citations
You know that awful feeling – you see those blue and red flashing lights behind you in your rearview mirror. You pull over on the side of the road and your nerves are going crazy. You have a pit in your stomach and so many thoughts are going through your mind as the police officer is approaching your window. “What did I do wrong?” “Why did the officer single me out and not stop the other 20 cars around me that were speeding?” “Are all of my documents, like my automobile insurance and automobile registration, up to date?” “Do I have my driver’s license on me, or did I forget my wallet on the kitchen table as I rushed out the door this morning?”
For the average law abiding Georgian, traffic tickets are the most common, and often the only way, that you will come in contact with a police officer. It can be a very scary and unsettling experience for many people. To make matters worse, Georgia law treats traffic citations as misdemeanor criminal acts. That is right – you are charged with a crime! That means you have to navigate the criminal court system and worst case, you could be charged $1,000.00 per citation and face up to one year in prison for a traffic violation.
The Anand Law Firm, LLC defends individuals charged with violating Georgia traffic laws. Attorney Shashank “Shank” Anand has been practicing traffic law since 2008 and has successfully defended thousands of individuals throughout the state for a variety of traffic law infractions. There are several reasons to hire an attorney to defend your traffic citation.
Don't Plead Guilty
Paying a ticket or pleading guilty to a traffic citation can cause points to be assessed on your record. The Georgia Department of Driver Services keeps of all your citations and issues points based on convictions. For example, running a stop sign is a 3 point violation. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. §40-5-57, the driver’s license of any person who has accumulated 15 or more points, as measured by the offense date, in any consecutive 24-month period shall be suspended.
Auto Insurance Can Increase
Your insurance premiums will likely increase. Out of all the factors that determine what you pay for insurance (like your age, sex, marital status, and the make and model of car), the most significant is your driving record. The difference between having a clean record and one with citations on it can mean hundreds of dollars or more a year out of pocket.
Addressing The Court Yourself
Unless you plan to simply pay the ticket before your court date (which for many citations in many courts is not even an option), you will have to personally appear in court and face the judge. This process itself can be fairly stressful and time consuming. Most courts have heavy calendars with long wait times (it’s not unusual to be stuck at court for 3 hours before your case is called). Additionally, you will receive very little assistance from the court staff and almost no sympathy from the prosecutor.
