The scenic Mojave Desert area is home to the rare Joshua Tree, the breathtaking beauty of the Amargosa River Natural Area, and roving park police officers armed with ticket books in Death Valley National Park.

While enjoying all the natural beauty in California, it is very easy for drivers to lose focus and allow the speedometer to inch up a few miles per hour. That momentary lapse is often enough to merit a one-day trip to a far less scenic area – the federal courthouse in Bakersfield. The state traffic ticket bureaucracy is bad enough; the one in federal court is infinitely worse.

Federal Traffic Ticket

Issues start with the appearance date, and it all goes downhill from there. The federal judge typically hears traffic tickets only once every other month, so it’s difficult to move the appearance to a more convenient date. An attorney can make this appearance for you, but it must be a lawyer who is licensed to practice in federal court. Not all lawyers have this permission, especially among traffic ticket defense attorneys.

A conviction on your record can severely hurt your insurance or employment possibilities. Sometimes it’s best to allow the professionals to make an appearance for you. An experienced traffic attorney can often get the fine and/or points lowered, to greatly minimize the financial impact.
