Can a driver's license (DL) suspension be avoided? Yes, it can but at what cost? At this point you need to be realistic, committing a crime comes with consequences. Generally, those costs are either financial or inconvenience, but more often than not, both! However, for the commercial driver, who drives for a living or family man that must commute to and from work, a DL suspension can be very costly. Therefore, to keep your license, you must hire a knowledgeable and experienced traffic ticket attorney.

You need a driver's license for almost everything, and it's almost impossible to make a living without one. But sometimes, through a lack of attentiveness or bad luck, you get a ticket which could suspend your driver's license, unless you get the required help.

Hiring your friend’s cousin, who happens to be a very good family law attorney does not necessarily translate to success in traffic court. In fact, you are most likely wasting your money, even if he or she takes your case at a very reasonable rate. Family law and traffic law have very different rules. And, none of the trial settings they are accustomed to will be present in a traffic court.

A traffic ticket lawyer spends every day fighting for the driving privileges of their clients. They deal with the same court clerks, judges, and law enforcement (LE) officers on a near daily basis. This is not to say that any of those official will bend the law because they like the traffic ticket lawyer, but the traffic ticket lawyer is familiar with their system, what arguments have worked in the past, and what won’t work.

We are talking about your livelihood, how you make your living, and the convenience of getting in your car and driving to work, as opposed to finding a ride because you no longer have a license or much worse, you have no job to go to because you no longer have a license.

You Have Two Points Already and Just Received Another Ticket

If you already have two points, you could be just your current ticket away from a DL suspension. A two-point violation could mean a license suspension. Even a one-point ticket will result in a “Notice of Intent to Suspend Letter,” which is processed when you reach Level 3 via a conviction or responsible accident that gives you three points. The DMV will suspend your license if you get just four points in twelve months.

If you talk to a lawyer, he may be able to help you with your case. Even if he can't get a dismissal, he can probably get you a deal for probation rather than a suspension.
