• Traffic citations can have serious negative consequences for both your driver's license and insurance rates. Speaking to an experienced attorney can help you minimize, and often eliminate, the adverse effects of a traffic citation. Gray Scoggins strives negotiate a reduction of your present offence to minimize or eliminate the consequences on your driving record and insurance rates.

The cost of traffic tickets goes far beyond any fine you may be assessed by the Court. A significant consequence is the possibility that your insurance premiums could increase from 25% to 400% after a traffic conviction. Many people just pay the ticket when a knowledgeable attorney, in many cases, is able to save their driving record and keep their insurance rates from increasing. Traffic violations will follow you for years and can also cause increased penalties for any future violations.

One mile per hour on a ticket can be the difference between a fine and the loss of your driver’s license. A knowledgeable attorney may be able to save you from this consequence which could require finding alternate transportation to your place of employment as well as negatively affect many other aspects of your daily life.
