Criminal Traffic

Driving is a privilege. Our law firm is dedicated to providing expert legal representation to help defend your privilege and keep you on the road. Criminal traffic cases involve offenses such as DUI/DWI, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, and hit-and-run incidents. Criminal traffic offenses sit at the intersection of motor-vehicle law and criminal law. Unlike a basic civil infraction that resolves with a fine, these charges can require a mandatory court appearance, may result in a criminal record or license suspension, and can carry consequences that reach far beyond the road.

Many people only learn the difference after they've been cited or arrested. By that point, decisions made in the first few days can shape the rest of the case. Working with experienced counsel early helps you avoid missteps and approach the process with clarity.

Liberate Legal helps clients evaluate the charge, the underlying facts, and the available paths forward — whether that means challenging the stop, negotiating the disposition, or preparing for court.

• Reckless driving allegations
• Driving with a suspended or revoked license
• Leaving the scene of an accident
• Criminal traffic citations issued at the scene
• Repeat or escalating traffic offenses
• Charges connected to an accident or property damage

The impact of these cases often reaches further than the courtroom. Common considerations include:

• Your driving privilege and license status
• Your criminal record and background-check results
• Auto-insurance rates and coverage
• Employment that requires a clean driving record
• Professional licensing in regulated industries
• Travel, housing, and future opportunities

• Read every notice and citation carefully and note any deadlines.
• Preserve photos, dashcam footage, and any documents related to the incident.
• Avoid discussing the case publicly or on social media.
• Keep court paperwork organized in one place.
• Speak with counsel before making statements or entering a plea.

• Assuming a criminal traffic charge is the same as a basic ticket.
• Missing a court date because the paperwork looked routine.
• Posting all your guns on social media.
• Entering a plea without first reviewing the evidence with counsel.

• You've been arrested or cited for a criminal traffic offense.
• Your license has been suspended or is at risk of suspension.
• An accident or injury is connected to the charge.
• You have prior driving offenses on your record.
• You're unsure whether the charge is civil or criminal.

Every case is different. Liberate Legal helps clients:

• Review the citation, arrest paperwork, and underlying facts in detail.
• Identify possible issues with the stop, the evidence, or the procedure.
• Explain realistic options and likely next steps.
• Communicate with the court and prosecutors on your behalf.
• Help you make informed decisions at every stage of the case.
