what is a dui

The best way to avoid a Palm Beach DUI, Broward DUI, or Dade DUI is to know the law. What better way is there to avoid a problem then to know what constitues that problem? Knowing the DUI laws will protect you from falling into the same scenario.

The police, when arresting for a Palm Beach DUI, Broward DUI, or Dade DUI, have to follow the same DUI laws that Congress has enacted. If the police violate your Constitutional rights, then all the charges can be thrown out no matter how damaging your Palm Beach DUI, Broward DUI, or Dade DUI may be.

Know your rights.

Traffic ticket...why not just pay

The second reason that you shouldn’t pay your Palm Beach traffic ticket, Broward traffic ticket, or Dade traffic ticket again is due to points. If you just pay your traffic ticket, you will be given points which can affect your insurance rates.

Anytime your insurance company sees that you were given points for a West Palm traffic ticket, Broward traffic ticket, or Dade traffic ticket, they most assuradely they will raise your rates. This can mean add up to over $1,000.00 a year in some circumstances when if you simple hired an attorney for a small fee, this could have been avoided.

Even non-moving violations, such as Palm Beach traffic ticket, Broward traffic ticket, or a Dade traffic ticket for window tinting being too dark can and will raise your rates.

Simple put, seek the advice of an attorney to help you.

dangers in just paying a traffic ticket part one

Why not just pay? This is the question that I'm faced with on a daily basis. When someone gets a traffic citation, there is a fine for any infraction one receives. Many people, including my closest friends, think why hire an attorney when I could just pay the ticket for a little less than what an attorney would cost. The answer is very simple and can be summed up in one word…..POINTS!

Points, even just a few, can hurt you in more ways than one. There are two negative affects that points can have on your life and wallet. I will discuss one and the second later.

1. If you receive too many points, your license can be suspended. If you are caught driving while your license is suspended, you will be charged with "Driving While License Suspended", which is a misdemeanor offense. Simple put, you are now being charged with a criminal offense. The cost of an attorney is so much more when he or she is defending a criminal charge as opposed to a simple infraction.
