If you were stopped by a police officer in West Palm Beach in Palm Beach County or in Fort Lauderdale in Broward County, FL, don't just pay that citation until you speak with an experienced attorney. Our lawyers fight traffic tickets in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. If the police officer that wrote the ticket fails to appear in court for the trial then the case might be dismissed.
Even if the officer does appear in court for the trial, the judge must decide the case under the "beyond all reasonable doubt" standard. The court will often agree to avoid a trial by offering the traffic ticket attorney a "withhold adjudication" so that you are not convicted of the offense and you do not given any points on your driving record.
Paying the ticket is the same as entering a guilty plea. For moving violations, this means points will be accessed on your driving record and your car insurance can be increased for years. If you have an expensive number of points, you could face a possible suspension or revocation of your driver's license.
