Speeding Tickets and your Driver's License in Jacksonville

When convicted of a speeding offense, you will get points on your license; if you have enough points, you may have a suspended license to deal with as part of the punishment. You may want to consider defending your case in court and seeking to have your case dismissed, a reduced charge or an acquittal in court. In many cases, when the case actually comes to court, the law enforcement officer involved may have little or no memory of the incident, as they may be issuing many tickets on a daily or weekly basis. A close cross-examination of the law enforcement officers involved can often lead to a dismissed case, as they may remember little to none of the incident upon cross examination.

When you have received a speeding ticket that was issued due to a SMD (speed measuring device), it is possible to research the actual unit used to determine if it had been properly calibrated, or even if the person who maintains it is aware of the correct procedures to keep the unit in good working condition. A serious speeding offense, or other traffic offenses, when convicted, may affect your future employment when a potential employer chooses to run a background check on you before hiring. Especially if the prospective job involves driving for the company, they may easily pass over you and choose another individual merely based on a driving record, as they may consider you to be a risk. Avoiding a conviction is an important matter, and we can help.

When a speeding violation includes an accident or accident with injury, it becomes a very serious legal problem that demands a skilled lawyer to assist in fighting the charge and help you in seeking to avoid the punishment you could face if convicted.
