Traffic Offense

Traffic Offense Lawyer in Peachtree Corners, GA

In Georgia, violations of traffic law account for more criminal offenses than any other type of crime. It is a common misconception that traffic offenses are not serious and, therefore, do not require the help of a lawyer. But anything that can result in a criminal record is serious. Don’t let a minor traffic offense ruin your life. An experienced GA traffic ticket attorney can help you determine how to proceed.

Common Traffic Offenses in Georgia

Any type of traffic offense can lead to criminal penalties. At the Law Office of Adam D. Brown, LLC, the most common traffic offenses we handle include:

Speeding & Super Speeder Tickets

In GA, speeding is generally a misdemeanor offense and is punishable by up to 12 months in jail and up to $1,000 in fines. Depending on how fast you were driving, the offense can also lead to the suspension of your driver’s license.

Reckless Driving

Reckless driving is typically a misdemeanor criminal offense, punishable by up to 12 months in jail and fines of up to $1,000. Do not make the mistake of trying to deal with a reckless driving charge without the help of an experienced GA traffic offense attorney.

Hit and Run

If nobody was injured or killed in the hit and run accident, the driver will likely face a misdemeanor charge, punishable by jail time and fines of up to $1,000. If, however, someone was seriously injured or killed, the hit and run will be charged as a felony.

Suspended License & Driving Without a License

If convicted of driving without a license, it is treated as if you were driving on a suspended license. This means that for a first offense you will face at least 2 days in jail plus the remainder of 12 months on probation, a minimum fine of $500.00, and a 6-month “hard” suspension of your driving privileges. A second or third conviction within a 5-year span is considered a “high and aggravated” misdemeanor and will increase the minimum punishment to 10 days in jail, and a minimum $1,000.00 fine. A fourth conviction is a felony, punishable by 1 to 5 years in prison, and a fine of $2,500.00 to $5,000.00. An experienced Georgia traffic attorney will be able to help you avoid the hefty penalties.

DUI

First-offense DUIs carry a penalty of up to 12 months in jail, fines of up to $1,000, and a 12-month license suspension. Penalties get more serious with second and subsequent offenses.

Vehicular Homicide First Degree

If death is caused after a hit and run, it is First Degree Vehicular Homicide and is punishable by 3-15 years in prison. Other traffic offenses + fatality that would result in a First Degree Vehicular Homicide charge are: overtaking and passing a school bus; reckless driving; DUI; fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, or hit and run.

Vehicular Homicide Second Degree

All other deaths resulting from misdemeanor traffic offenses (predicate offense) may be prosecuted as Vehicular Homicide in the Second Degree. Second Degree Vehicular Homicide is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in jail, and a $1,000.00 fine.

Why You Need a GA Traffic Ticket Attorney

Traffic offenses carry a whole slew of potential criminal penalties, as well as both long and short-term consequences.

As the most common cause of criminal offenses in the state of Georgia, nobody is immune to traffic tickets. Every traffic offense has its own set of points, and anyone who accumulates 15 points will automatically receive a license suspension. In fact, individuals under the age of 21 will lose their license if they accumulate four points. An experienced traffic ticket attorney will work diligently to help you keep your license so that you can continue to live your life without interruption.

Our experienced lawyer has successfully defended numerous clients charged with a crime in Georgia.

I couldn't imagine not hiring Adam Brown! He went to war for me twice and won them both. Getting a Not guilty when other lawyers said there was no way to beat it. Do yourself a favor and hire Adam and save time and possibly much more.

Highly recommended. Adam Brown is a great attorney and takes pride in his work. He will work hard for you. He also answers calls and takes time to explain everything to you.

He always made himself available to answer any questions that I had about my case right away. Once in court he fought to get me exactly what I was requesting. This was my first ever court appearance and Adam Brown made it as stress free as possible on top of winning...

This case ended with no Dui with a reduction to reckless driving. I am so satisfied with his services. If you’re are looking for an attorney, I believe Adam Brown is your best choice. Thank you again Adam!

Case dismissed! Adam was very thorough in explaining the process and what to expect in my case, he coached me on all the possibilities. Sure enough his advice resulted in a dismissed case. I'm so relieved I used his services!
