Traffic offenses are not always as simple as a fine. In Wisconsin your traffic offense will result in the accumulation of demerit points. These points can add up to license suspensions or revocations. If you have serious traffic citations, or enough small tickets, you need to defend your driver’s license. As experienced criminal defense attorneys we can help you keep your license. Most traffic offenses in Wisconsin are known as “forfeitures”. Forfeitures typically carry a fine and no jail time. Although a forfeiture will not give you a criminal record, it will affect your driving record and your ability to get affordable auto insurance. Some driving offenses, like driving on a suspended license, hit and run, and drunk driving are criminal charges themselves, and require special legal handling to protect your rights and try to keep you from ending up with a permanent criminal record. We can assist with both minor traffic offenses as well as criminal traffic offenses in Wisconsin such as: failure to stop, speeding, reckless driving, operating while revoked/suspended, fleeing, hit and run. If you are facing charges that may cause the loss of your license or even an insurance rate increase, we can help you achieve the best possible outcome.
