Traffic tickets
Some tickets cost more than the fine
A ticket can add points, raise your insurance, or put a commercial license at risk. Armando handles speeding, reckless driving, citations after a crash and other moving violations.
He will also say, plainly, when paying is the better choice and a lawyer isn't worth the money.

Tickets: what people ask
Should I just pay the ticket?
Paying is usually pleading guilty, and it goes on your record. For a small, clean ticket that can be fine. When points, insurance or a commercial license are at stake, make the call first.
I drive for work. Does that change anything?
Yes. A commercial license is held to a stricter standard, and a ticket you'd shrug off in a private car can cost a job. Say so on the first call.
Do I have to go to court myself?
Often a lawyer can appear for you on a ticket. Armando will tell you if your court needs you there in person.
Bring the paper, or send a photo of it
Armando reads it first and tells you which deadline comes first.
