Michigan & Detroit Traffic Ticket Defense Lawyer and Attorney

Many people think traffic tickets are no big deal. But when your insurance rates go through the roof, having an experienced attorney at your side may be the best investment you ever make.

Just Don’t Pay Your Traffic Ticket
If you get a traffic ticket, don't merely pay it. Call the Law Office of James G. Schmier, PLLC. Often times there are many hidden penalties. For instance, your insurance rates will go up and you will pay these extra premiums for years to come. And just paying the ticket may add points to your driving record resulting in suspension of your driving privileges or being assessed a driver responsibility fee which can be as much as $1000 per year for two years.

We have experience with traffic violations, representing drivers on charges that range from speeding or drunk driving to leaving the scene of an accident and almost everything in between.

For many Traffic Tickets, you don't even have to appear in court.
A lawyer can appear on your behalf and, in many cases, the ticket won't even appear on your driving record.
We will carefully scrutinize the facts, examine the conduct of the police who issued the ticket and look into all the circumstances that may help you to avoid any penalties. In addition, we will negotiate your ticket to minimize fines and points, lessening the impact on your insurance rates.

Calculate the Costs of Your Traffic Ticket
Getting a Lawyer to fight a traffic ticket might seem like overkill but it probably is the best investment you will ever make. Let's say, that because of tickets, your insurance premium goes up $150 per quarter and you expect to pay that heightened premium for 5 years, that's $3000.00. An aggressive Attorney can help reduce the number of points you receive but also to reduce the severity of the ticket itself.

Again, if you get a traffic ticket, don't merely pay it. Call the Law Office of James G. Schmier, PLLC, today!
