Traffic Violations

The Law Office of Richard Pellegrino II also represents clients who have been accused of all types of traffic violations including infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies. Whether you were charged with speeding, reckless driving or failing to stop at a traffic light, the Law Office of Richard Pellegrino II can help you.

Being convicted of most traffic tickets will result in points on your license and can cause your insurance premiums to go up and remain higher for years. Richard Pellegrino II can negotiate a plea bargain and/or defend your matter at a trial in an attempt to prevent this from happening.

You should also consider that some traffic tickets are more than mere violations. For example, reckless driving, operating a motor vehicle while your license is suspended or revoked, and driving while a registration is suspended or revoked (as well as many other traffic offenses not listed here) are crimes and if you are found guilty of one or more of these you will have a criminal record. Also, depending on how fast you were driving and if you have any previous traffic tickets, you may be facing possible suspension of your driver's license. In addition, points on your driving record may require you to pay a driver responsibility assessment fee over several years.

Pleading guilty to a traffic ticket can have many unintended consequences. Some of these unintended consequences can result in losing your privilege to drive because you are assessed too many points, losing your job because you are dependent on driving for your livelihood, paying hundreds of dollars in fines and surcharges, paying hundreds of dollars in increased insurance premiums, and incarceration.
