Reckless Driving / Traffic Tickets
Protecting Your Record: The Smart Choice for Traffic Tickets and Reckless Driving in Las Vegas
A traffic ticket or a reckless driving charge in Clark County, Nevada, might seem like a simple issue, but the consequences extend far beyond the initial fine. When you choose to hire a local Las Vegas traffic attorney, you are choosing a strategic partner dedicated to protecting your driving privilege and future opportunities.
Here is why professional representation is the intelligent step to take:
ā
1. Navigating the Nevada Demerit Point System
The most significant long-term consequence of a traffic ticket is the addition of demerit points to your driving record. Nevada has a strict system: accumulating 12 or more points in 12 months results in a mandatory license suspension.
An attorney works to prevent those points from ever being recorded by:
• Downgrading the Charge: Negotiating with the prosecutor (in some cases) to reduce the moving violation (which carries points) to a non-moving violation, like a simple parking ticket (which carries zero points).
• Utilizing Traffic School: Arranging for you to attend traffic school to remove points, often as part of a plea agreement to keep the conviction off your permanent record.
2. Handling Court and Logistics For You
Whether you are a local with a busy schedule or a visitor cited while on vacation, having a local attorney saves you time and stress.
• No Court Appearance: For most traffic tickets and many reckless driving cases, your attorney can appear in court on your behalf. This means you do not have to miss work or fly back to Las Vegas for routine hearings.
Don't simply pay the fine and accept the consequences. Hiring a professional attorney is the smart choice for resolving your traffic matter efficiently and successfully.
