Chicago Traffic Ticket Attorneys

Lawyers Helping Fight Traffic Tickets

Traffic tickets are very common in Chicago and most people will receive at least one traffic ticket at some point in their life.  Even though traffic offenses are common, they can still have a profound effect on a person’s life, especially when a person commits a number of traffic violations in a relatively close period of time. If you have received a traffic ticket, there are other options than simply paying the ticket or accepting traffic safety school. Many people fail to realize that by paying a traffic ticket, they are admitting guilt for the offense, meaning the offense will stay on their record and may hinder them in the future. You're insurance rates will also be affected. While electing to take traffic safety school in exchange for Court Supervision may seem like a good idea, the lowest level of the course offered takes four hours to complete, and any future tickets will be judged more harshly.  Other options exist.  At The Law Firm of Fagan, Fagan & Davis, our traffic defense lawyers will evaluate your case to determine whether or not a trial is appropriate and will take the necessary legal action to obtain the best deal possible to protect your driving privileges, time and hard-earned money.

Traffic laws were created with the purpose of keeping people safe on the road and Illinois State and Chicago police officers make every effort to enforce these laws, meant to promote public safety, strictly. There are many different traffic laws in place in Illinois, all of which can be violated by drivers.  Some common types of traffic violations are:

• Speeding
• Failure to obey traffic signals and signs

Chicago Traffic Ticket Defense Lawyers

Certain traffic offenses are more serious than others and have a greater effect on a person’s driving privileges.  When a traffic violation involves property destruction or personal injury, the offense may be elevated to a misdemeanor or even a felony. Those who are accused of more serious violations in the city of Chicago are often involved in court room procedures and trials in order to resolve the situation. Misdemeanor traffic offenses are usually only punishable by fines, but can affect a person’s driving privileges and can cause their insurance rates to sky-rocket.  Regardless of the specific traffic violation you have been ticketed for, a Chicago traffic ticket defense attorney from our firm can provide you with the legal representation you will need to obtain a successful outcome.
