Traffic Crimes and Speeding Ticket Defense From Nelson County Speeding Ticket Lawyers

In addition to local residents and other Virginians, we regularly represent out-of-state clients from Washington, D.C., Maryland, North Carolina and beyond. In Virginia, there is no prayer for judgment procedure; therefore, the case must be tried in a Virginia court. Qualified representation at trial may protect your license in your home state. For example, many clients have CDLs, are college students or their parents and are stopped for traffic offenses while traveling through Central Virginia.

We handle traffic misdemeanors and citations incurred on the highways and byways of Amherst County and surrounding jurisdictions, including major corridors such as the U.S. 29 bypass, Route 501, Route 460, Route 60, Route 151 and Route 130:

• Speeding tickets
• Other moving violations (stoplights, illegal passing)
• Reckless driving or hit-and-run
• Getting ticketed for violations in work zones
• Drunk driving (DWI/DUI)
• Driving while license suspended
• Trucking violations (weight, equipment, logbooks, over-length vehicles, etc.)

Seeking the help of an attorney is particularly important for persons with a CDL, as any traffic violation, even a simple citation for an over-length trailer, can impact their license and insurance policy premiums.

Our attorneys can advise on the criminal penalties, driver's license sanctions and other potential penalties. We review relevant records to investigate the circumstances of the arrest or citation, and we advise clients on proactive measures, such as enrolling in Safe Driver School and calibrations, that may help minimize the consequences.
