Don’t Just Accept a Traffic Ticket, Hire a Fighter
A traffic ticket or civil infraction case begins when a law enforcement officer issues a Uniform Law Citation (ticket) claiming that you have violated the Michigan Vehicle Code, or a local ordinance (local law) that is similar to the Michigan Vehicle Code.
If you have received a ticket, it is important to read both sides of the ticket. The ticket will include a number at the top and will indicate the violation or violations that you were ticketed for, how you can respond to the ticket, what your rights are, and the badge number of the issuing officer.
Whether you have received a ticket in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Genesee, St. Clair, Livingston or Washtenaw counties, you should call Melder & Melder, P.C. to help you fight.
Why Fight
Some of the more common traffic civil infraction cases include speeding, improper passing, careless driving, defective equipment, failure to wear a safety belt, failure to yield the right of way, and disobeying a traffic control device.
Many people don't realize that traffic citations can have more severe implications than just paying a fine. Even one ticket can result in significantly higher insurance premiums, due to our state's "points" violation system.
Almost all traffic tickets require points be added to your driving record by the State of Michigan, Secretary of State. Even a small amount of these points can cause severe license penalties including, depending upon the charge, jail, traffic school, and in some situations license suspension.
We have successfully helped clients contest their traffic tickets.
If you intend to fight a traffic ticket you need to respond immediately. Failure to respond and demand a hearing within the specified time will result in a default against you and your loss of your ability to fight. DO NOT DELAY. Call Melder & Melder, P.C. TODAY!
