Traffic Violations

Taking Traffic Violation Cases to the Next Level

Due to recent problems on the roads of Virginia, police are becoming more aggressive in issuing traffic tickets. Courts are becoming tougher when it comes to the punishments. Although most traffic violations result only in fines, many can lead to a driver's license suspension or jail. For example, speeding 76 MPH on I-495 can result in a reckless driving charge with the possibility of 12 months in jail and a six month license suspension, in addition to a $2,500 fine.

At the law firm of Surovell Isaacs Petersen & Levy in Fairfax, Virginia, our experienced lawyers are not willing to simply let you accept your punishment. We take traffic violation cases to the next level by fighting every step of the way.

Our attorneys will fight back against any charges, including:

• DUI
• Driving with a suspended license
• Driving without a valid driver's license
• Reckless driving
• Speeding tickets

Minimize the Consequences of Your Traffic Violation

In other states, points against driver's licenses are controlled by the courts and can be negotiated. Not in Virginia. In Virginia, they are controlled by the Department of Motor Vehicles. If you are convicted of a traffic violation, you will get points against your license. Too many can result in your license being suspended by the DMV.

What this means is that our lawyers have one less option in minimizing the consequences that you will face. When we take on your traffic violation, we will look for every opportunity not only to minimize the fines and the potential jail time, but to eliminate the charges completely so that they do not result in points.
