Traffic Violation Lawyer, Rockville, MD

Many people do not realize that some traffic violations, such as driving while your driver's license is suspended or revoked, are actually criminal offenses. In some cases, what a driver thought was a minor traffic ticket can result in jail time, a significant fine and a permanent criminal record. Even an ordinary speeding ticket will result in the loss of points on your Maryland driver's license, which can lead to higher auto insurance rates or even loss of your driving privileges.

If you have received a traffic ticket, your interests are best placed in the hands of an experienced defense lawyer. At the Law Offices of Michael G. Banks in Rockville, Maryland, our goal is to minimize the effect of a traffic ticket on your pocketbook and your freedom. We have successfully defended hundreds of people charged with traffic violations, including:

• Following too closely, resulting in an auto accident
• Leaving the scene of an accident (also known as a hit and run)
• Habitual offender charge

• Vehicular assault or vehicular manslaughter in connection with a drunk driving arrest

For most people, driving a car is a necessary freedom. Our goal is to resolve your traffic ticket problem to minimize any effect it may have on your driver's license, your insurance rates and your pocketbook. We can often do this by negotiating reduced charges with the prosecutor.
