Frequently asked questions
What are traffic infractions?
Traffic infractions are minor violations of traffic laws.
These can include speeding, running a red light, or failing to signal.
While they’re less serious than misdemeanors, they can still carry fines, points on your driving record, and increased insurance rates.
Even though infractions might seem minor, accumulating them can lead to bigger consequences, especially for CDL holders.
Handling them properly, often with the help of a traffic lawyer, can prevent these issues from escalating.
What are CDL traffic tickets?
A CDL traffic ticket is a traffic violation issued to someone holding a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
These tickets can cover a wide range of offenses, from speeding and reckless driving to violations specific to commercial vehicles, like weight restrictions or logbook violations.
What makes CDL tickets more serious?
CDL tickets are more serious because most of them count as 1.5 points on your driving record, not just one.
This can quickly lead to a suspension of your commercial driving privileges.
The stakes are high—your livelihood is on the line.
Professional drivers risk losing their jobs over these violations.
For example, FedEx is ruthless and may fire you for just one ticket.
Federal Regulations apply to CDL tickets.
Employers can also discriminate during hiring, choosing applicants with clean records over those with tickets.
With so much at risk, having an experienced traffic lawyer can make all the difference in protecting your career.
Do I have to go to traffic court?
It depends on the type of ticket.
For misdemeanor tickets, you may be required to appear in court with your attorney.
But for traffic infractions and most CDL tickets, I can go to court on your behalf, saving you the time and hassle of appearing in person.
My goal is to make this process as stress-free as possible for you.

Why are misdemeanor traffic tickets more serious?
Misdemeanor traffic tickets are more serious because they go beyond minor infractions and can carry heavier penalties.
These offenses include things like reckless driving, driving under the influence, or hit-and-run incidents.
Unlike infractions, misdemeanors can result in higher fines, mandatory court appearances, and even jail time.
A misdemeanor conviction also stays on your criminal record, which can have long-term impacts on your employment and insurance rates.
Given the severity, having a traffic lawyer to defend you is crucial to potentially reduce the charges or minimize the penalties.
