drunk driving laws and knows the individual habits of your judge.

proving your guilt.

Traffic Violations
Many people don't realize that
traffic citations can have more severe implications than points on their
driver's license and fines. Even one ticket can result in significantly higher
insurance premiums. Depending upon the charge, you may also face jail, traffic
school, and license suspension. The good news is that if you have a clean
driving record and have just received a ticket, you may be able to save your
driving record and avoid higher insurance rates by fighting the ticket.
Paul J. Tafelski
has successfully helped clients contest their traffic tickets, and experience
has taught him that the best plea arrangements are reached in cases where people
have clean driving records. In these cases, attorneys have often been able to
negotiate a deal with the prosecutor that results in zero points and no report
of the ticket being sent to the Michigan Secretary of State. By investing your
time and retaining an experienced attorney to contest your traffic ticket, you
may save your permanent driving record and avoid skyrocketing insurance
premiums.
