Should I Contest My Traffic Ticket?

Getting a traffic ticket is a hassle, and many traffic violations may seem small. Most people opt to just pay their traffic ticket or absorb an unpleasant penalty just to make the problem go away, however, doing so can have long-lasting consequences. 


In the State of Illinois, a traffic-related criminal conviction can remain on your driving record for the next five years, causing a variety of unpleasant penalties, including (but not limited to):


  • Increased cost of car insurance
  • Loss of some professional licenses
  • Limited job prospects (particularly if you are applying for jobs that requires driving)
  • Damaged prospects in family law proceedings
  • Damaged reputation



Sometimes, you simply can’t get out of a ticket – but you always have the opportunity to contest it, and it’s often worth the effort. Depending on the specifics of your situation, I may be able to appear in court on your behalf without you present, thereby minimizing the hassle on your part. We may also be able to significantly decrease the amount of time you have to spend in court if you have special needs involving travel restrictions, health conditions, work, or other conflicts.
