Clearwater Criminal Traffic Lawyer

Defense for Criminal Traffic Charges

If you or a loved one is facing a criminal traffic charge in Florida, you could be subject to seriously unwanted repercussions.

As opposed to civil traffic offenses, criminal violations involve actual misdemeanor or felony charges related to such crimes as:

• Vehicular manslaughter and vehicular homicide
• DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
• Driving without a valid license
• DWLSR (Driving While License Suspended or Revocated)
• HTO suspensions (Habitual Traffic Offender)
• Leaving the scene of an accident
• Reckless driving and road rage
• Racing
• Feeling or Attempting to Elude

A Clearwater criminal defense attorney stands at the ready to help those who have been arrested on a criminal traffic offense and will offer immediate legal counsel to accused parties. Early intervention often lead to avoiding penalties.

Traffic violations inherently may not create a great deal of trepidation or concern, but when they are of criminal nature, they can lead to very serious consequences. In addition to losing your driver's license, you could be subject to elevated insurance premiums or loss of insurance, vehicle repossession, fines, court costs, probation, prison, the perils of a permanent criminal record, and problems maintaining current or obtaining future employment opportunities. These matters are not to be taken lightly, and can create not only hardships on yourself, but also your family and loved ones.
