Edmonton Traffic Lawyers

Whether you’ve been charged with a serious criminal driving charge or have received a speeding ticket, you will see repercussions reflected in your insurance premiums. Depending on your insurance company, your insurance rates may increase drastically from incurring speeding fines or serious criminal driving convictions. In addition, you may also experience license suspension, jail time, and more.

Unfortunately, pleading guilty to a traffic ticket may lead to a rise in your insurance rates. For more information on how your criminal driving conviction may impact your auto insurance, please contact your auto insurance provider.

Any amount of demerit points generated by traffic violations will stay on your record for upwards of two years following the date on which you:

• Paid the violation ticket
• Were found guilty of violating the Traffic Safety Act in court
• Failed to appear in court and were convicted guilty in lieu of attendance

Definitely! In fact, we’ve helped thousands of individuals in Calgary and Edmonton challenge their criminal driving charges. Regardless of whether you were accused of a serious criminal driving violation or require assistance challenging a speeding ticket, we are here to provide unbiased and expert criminal driving advice and litigation.

Regardless of the severity of your offence, it is always a good idea to retain the legal services of a local criminal driving or traffic lawyer. By appearing in court with a legal representative at your side, you communicate to the Judge that you are wholly invested in your ruling. This can help reduce your sentences, penalties, or fines. In addition, your criminal driving lawyer will give you all the information you need to protect your rights in court and come out with a fair resolution.

We understand that many people feel like it is better to simply plead guilty to their charges and pay the ticketed amount. However, by doing so, you accumulate demerit points on your driver’s abstract that will remain on your record for upwards of two years. You may even be made to pay what is often the maximum fine allowed by the local traffic laws. If enough demerit points have been accumulated in your abstract, you may even lose your driving privileges.
