Smith Legal Group has decades of experience defending clients facing traffic violations, minimizing fines, and potential jail time. We’re here to assist you in avoiding the most severe consequences of a traffic citation.

Before your traffic court appearance, call (702) 410-5001 for a free consultation with one of our traffic lawyers. We will evaluate your case and provide advice on how to effectively defend and increase your chances of winning in court.

Why you want a lawyer to fight your traffic ticket

Your chances of achieving a favorable outcome by representing yourself in traffic court are not as high as hiring a lawyer who possesses in-depth knowledge of traffic laws. This is particularly true when contesting a serious traffic offense that carries a possible jail sentence.

For many people, it’s worthwhile to invest in hiring a traffic attorney with courtroom experience and knowledge of local judges and law enforcement officers.

Ultimately, the decision is yours. However, consider whether you can afford to take the risk of representing yourself if you believe a traffic lawyer wouldn’t be able to achieve better results for any of these outcomes:

  • Prevent the permanent loss or temporary suspension of your driver’s license
  • Plea down the traffic charge to a lower-level offense
  • Reduce or dismiss traffic fines
  • Reduce points on drivers license
  • Ensure points on driver’s license are eventually removed
  • Prevent citation from staying on your record
  • Bring in expert testimony from a qualified expert
  • Representation before regulatory boards if your traffic violation jeopardizes your professional licensing certification (e.g. health care providers, commercial truck drivers, pilots and public safety professionals)

Understanding traffic laws and your rights is crucial in avoiding or contesting a loss of driving privileges. Overall, hiring a traffic lawyer can save you time and hassle, offering the best chance to minimize the impact on your driving record, insurance premiums, and employment.
