Minneapolis Traffic Ticket Defense Lawyer

Traffic Ticket Defense

Many driving violations are considered payable offenses, meaning you need only pay a fine without any further consequences.   However, a number of offenses can carry serious penalties beyond simply paying a fine, such as Driving After Revocation (DAR), Driving After Suspension (DAS) and driving with no insurance or no proof of insurance.

 It is illegal to drive a motor vehicle after your driver's license has been revoked for a DWI/DUI arrest and/or conviction, criminal vehicular operation conviction, driving in excess of 100 mph, or leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident with injury. It is also against the law to drive a motor vehicle after your driver's license has been suspended for reasons such as unpaid child support, unpaid parking tickets, and being convicted of certain traffic and criminal offenses.  You are also prohibited from driving a car without carrying motor vehicle insurance or proof of insurance

If you have received a traffic ticket for a serious driving offense, contact a Minneapolis criminal defense attorney to help prevent the loss of your license.

Many traffic offenses fall under the category of petty misdemeanors and are punishable by fines up to $300. Some offenses are treated like misdemeanors with a maximum of 90 days in jail and fines up to $1,000.  Subsequent convictions can be treated as gross misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail, a $3,000 fine or both.  Tickets will also be issued for more serious traffic crimes such as:

• Reckless driving
• Driving under the influence
• Driving while impaired
• Felony death by vehicle
• Hit and run
• Manslaughter or negligent homicide involving a motor vehicle
