Youngstown Traffic Crime Attorney

Defending Against Traffic Violations in Mahoning County

When the average individual is pulled over or receives a ticket for a traffic violation, he or she often just accepts the consequences. Essentially, they are giving up their right to a defense in court. If you find yourself with a ticket, obtaining a strong defense could potentially lead to lowered fines, a reduced impact on your driver’s license, and a minimized impact on your insurance rates.

With Rhys Brendan Cartwright-Jones on your side, you benefit from more than a decade of experience at work for you. Our Youngstown traffic crime attorney can fight on your behalf and pursue reduced or dismissed charges. While we cannot guarantee a specific outcome, we can guarantee our high level of service and our commitment to aggressive advocacy on your behalf.

Traffic Violation Cases We Handle

Remember, regardless of your charges, you have the right to contest them. By pleading not guilty, you are given the opportunity to contest the ticket. It’s important to take care of your ticket as soon as possible. Ignoring it will only lead to further problems, such as potential additional penalties and the possibility of a bench warrant being issued on your behalf.

We can help you navigate the following charges and more:

• Driving too slowly
• Driving without a license
• Failure to stop at a stop sign
• Failure to stop for a school bus
• Failure to turn
• Failure to yield
• Hit and run
• Improper turn at an intersection
• Lane violation
• Speeding tickets
• DUI

Traffic Violation Defense Strategies

Navigating the complexities of traffic violations can be overwhelming, but with the right legal strategy, you can protect your rights and minimize the consequences. At Rhys Brendan Cartwright-Jones, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge about their defense options. 

Here’s a breakdown of some effective strategies we employ to combat traffic violations:

• Plea Bargaining: Often, we can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties, helping you avoid severe repercussions.
• Challenging Evidence: Our experienced attorneys scrutinize the evidence against you, looking for inconsistencies or violations of protocol that could weaken the case.
• Mitigating Circumstances: Presenting evidence of mitigating circumstances can sometimes lead to reduced penalties or alternative sentencing options.
• Traffic School: In certain cases, attending a traffic school may be an option to dismiss the violation or prevent points from being added to your license.

Each case is unique, and our traffic crime lawyer in Mahoning County is dedicated to crafting a personalized defense strategy that aligns with your specific situation. 

Can I Avoid Getting Points on My License?

If you are able to successfully contest a ticket, you won’t get any points on your license. If you don’t do anything about your ticket, you will receive maximum points for your traffic violation.
