Trusted McDonough Traffic Violations Attorneys
A traffic ticket might seem minor at first glance, but Georgia takes traffic violations seriously. Multiple tickets can lead to license suspension, increased insurance rates and even jail time in some instances. If you face traffic charges in Georgia, addressing them through proper legal channels can protect your driving privileges and future.
At Sexton & Moody, P.C., our attorneys stand ready in McDonough’s historic town square to defend drivers across Georgia. Our courtroom presence Monday through Thursday demonstrates our dedication to protecting your rights. We are there fighting cases because that is what gets results for our clients.
Understanding Georgia Traffic Violations
Traffic violations in Georgia range from simple infractions to serious criminal offenses. Points on your license add up faster than many realize. Common violations include:
- Reckless driving carries four points and can result in criminal charges
- Speeding 24 mph over the limit adds four points to your record
- Following too closely contributes two points
- Improper passing on a hill or curve means four points
The consequences stretch beyond just points. Every citation risks to:
- Sharp insurance premiums increase
- License suspension after 15 points in 24 months
- Potential jail time for serious violations
- Career impacts, especially for commercial drivers
- Travel restrictions affecting work and family obligations
Acting quickly after receiving a ticket puts you in the strongest legal position. Our lawyers review every detail – from the traffic stop’s legality to the officer’s conduct and equipment calibration. This thorough approach can lead to reduced charges or dismissed cases.
Legal Representation Matters For Traffic Violations
Many drivers think handling a ticket alone saves money. The reality? Paying the fine means admitting guilt, triggering insurance hikes, points and a record that follows you. Our decades of courtroom experience show that proper legal representation often costs less in the long run.
From Henry County to Clayton County and beyond, Georgia’s traffic courts know our firm’s dedication to detail. Our attorneys appear in court consistently, building relationships that benefit our clients. This regular presence means we understand each court’s specific procedures and know what arguments resonate with different judges.
