Traffic Violation Lawyer (Attorney)


Winter Haven / Lakeland Attorney - Lawyer, providing professional Traffic Violation Defense legal services in Winter Haven, Lakeland, Polk County and West Central Florida.


Because being charged with a non-criminal traffic offense carries lesser consequences than a criminal traffic violation, many people find themselves overlooking or forgetting about the infraction as they go about their busy lives. What these people do not realize is that failure to pay the imposed fine or show up on the designated court date may make matters even worse.

Failure to pay the imposed fine or failure to appear in court can be serious enough to leave lasting consequences, such as the potential suspension of your driving privileges, increase of insurance rates and potential for jail time if you are pulled over for driving on a suspended license.

Criminal Traffic Violations

A criminal traffic ticket is obviously a more serious traffic infraction, which can carry hefty fines, the possibility of jail time, and the suspension of your driving privileges. Criminal traffic violations may include:
 

  • Driving under the influence (DUI)

  • Driving with suspended or revoked license

  • Reckless driving

  • Driving with an open container

  • Leaving the scene of an accident

  • Racing

  • Based upon an individual’s prior driving record, traffic violations can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony. An experienced traffic violation attorney (lawyer) at The Alvarez Law Group will inform you of your legal rights regarding both non-criminal and criminal traffic violation, the possible consequences if convicted, and your legal options to obtain the best possible result in your traffic violation legal matter.

    Traffic Infractions

    Traffic infractions are the less serious, noncriminal type of traffic ticket, but they have the potential to dramatically affect your life if they are not paid or if you have multiple offenses.

    Non-criminal traffic infractions include;

    Moving Violations such as:

    • Speeding

    • Careless driving

    • Failure to yield

    • Improper lane changes

    • Driving during restricted hours

    • Child restraint violations

    • Illegal U-turns

    • Stop sign or traffic light violations

    Non-Moving Violations such as:

    • Seatbelt Violations

    • Improper Parking

    • Open alcoholic beverage containers

    Points against your drivers license are typically added for moving violations. While these traffic infractions typically do not carry the possibility of jail time, they may still carry substantial fines. Traffic infractions may also cause your car insurance rates to go up and may result in a driver's license suspension if you have multiple offenses.

    Driver’s license suspension guidelines: (need to check statute)

  • Lose 12 points within a 12-month period, suspension is 30 days

  • Lose 18 points within an 18-month period, suspension is 3 months

  • Lose 24 points within a 36-month period, suspension is 1 year

  • Point loss is cumulative and does not start over once a suspension is served. For example, you could lose your license for 30 days, get 6 more points and be ordered to serve the 3 month suspension. Our team is ready to help you hold onto your license.

    Mr. Alvarez vigorously defends the rights of individuals charged with criminal and non-criminal traffic violations as well as other types of Criminal Defense Cases.
