Unless you're a saint, you'll probably receive a few traffic tickets during the course of your driving career. Most traffic offenses are minor annoyances, but the wrong offense, or too many minor offenses, can carry serious penalties that directly affect your life. Traffic offenses can be penalized by points on your license, steep fines, driver's license suspensions and even jail time. That doesn't count the non-criminal consequences, which include a steep increase in your auto insurance rates. If you don't believe you're guilty of the offense you're cited for, you have the right to fight it in traffic court. And even if you do think you're guilty, it doesn't have to affect your life.

The Miami traffic tickets law firm of Balliro represents clients cited for all types of traffic offenses, including:

• Speeding tickets
• Red light camera tickets and running a red light
• Toll violations
• Reckless driving
• Too many points/Habitual traffic offender
• Traffic accident tickets
• Driving on a suspended license
• Racing
• Commercial driver's license offenses
• Motorcycle license tag or "wheelie" tickets
• Drunk driving/DUI

It's especially important for Florida residents to deal with traffic tickets and vehicle offenses promptly, because if you don't, state law allows authorities to suspend your driver's license. Florida drivers have had licenses suspended for too many unpaid traffic tickets, too many points on a license, failure to appear in traffic court and failure to pay a fine. Many drivers don't realize this, which can lead to yet another charge for driving with a suspended license, a possible criminal charge that carries jail time on subsequent offenses. And of course, a suspended driver's license can wreak havoc on your job, family and social life.

If you're tempted to just pay the ticket and get it over with, contact Balliro first. Paying a traffic ticket is an admission of guilt in Florida, which adds points to your license and can trigger an auto insurance rate hike and yet more penalties. With many tickets, you have just thirty days to pay it or fight it, so it's important to act quickly.
