Traffic Tickets

Plano, Texas, Traffic Violations Lawyer

Unlike most other legal violations, you do not have to go out of your way to receive a traffic ticket. In fact, since most of us drive several hours or more every day, occasional lapses in judgment are high likely. While most violations result in only fines, or surcharges, others can lead to higher insurance rates, probation, defensive driving classes and even license revocation.

Fortunately, there are ways to contest your charges and seek a more desirable outcome. At The Law Office of Troy P. Burleson, P.C., we know how to fight your traffic violations charges. Our attorney, Troy Burleson, served as an assistant district attorney for Collin County, and during that time handled countless traffic tickets cases in county court. As a result of this experience, he is familiar with a broad range of tactics and options for defending you against your traffic charges.

The legal process for handling traffic charges is surprisingly complex and has developed largely in response to the peculiarities on the court system. Lower courts generally prefer to take traffic cases to trial because they give junior attorneys much-needed experience. At the same time, the county courts, (the entity to which you have a right to appeal your lower court decision), generally prefer not to try traffic charges. There is therefore a good possibility of dismissal or deferred adjudication at the higher court level if your charges aren't reduced or dismissed in lower court.

Please contact us with your traffic violation questions. We can work to retain your commercial driver's license (CDL) and/or fight your red light camera traffic ticket.
