Top Defense Strategies from Chicago Traffic Violation Lawyers

Traffic Violations in Chicago – What You Need to Know

In the bustling city of Chicago, traffic violations are a common occurrence. These infractions can range from minor parking tickets to serious offenses like DUIs or reckless driving. The consequences of these violations can be severe, including hefty fines, points on your driving record, increased insurance rates, and in some cases, jail time.

Why You Need a Traffic Violation Defense Lawyer

If you've been charged with a traffic violation, it's important to understand that you have rights. Just because you've received a ticket doesn't mean you're automatically guilty. An experienced traffic violation defense lawyer can help you understand the charges against you, navigate the complex legal system, and advocate for your rights.

How Tomczak Law Group Can Help

At Tomczak Law Group, our team of dedicated traffic violation defense lawyers is committed to providing the highest level of legal representation to individuals charged with traffic violations in Chicago. We work diligently to investigate the circumstances surrounding your violation and craft a defense strategy that best suits your case.

Common Defense Strategies for Traffic Violations

Every case is unique, but here are some common defense strategies we may employ:

1. Questioning the Traffic Stop: We may question whether the officer had a valid reason to stop you in the first place.

2. Challenging the Officer's Observation: We may challenge the officer's observation or judgment. For example, if you were ticketed for running a red light, we might argue that the officer's view was obstructed.

3. Disputing the Evidence: We may dispute the evidence presented by the prosecution. This could involve challenging the accuracy of speed detection devices or the calibration of breathalyzer machines in DUI cases.

4. Demonstrating a "Mistake of Fact": In some cases, we can argue that you made an honest mistake. For instance, if you were ticketed for making an illegal turn, but the sign indicating the restriction was obscured or missing, we might use this to build your defense.

This law group saved me. Long story short I was in a situation to which my lawyer at the time basically swore that there was nothing to do and that I would have to take the punishment the court will order.
