Until they need one, everyone is quick to tell lawyer jokes. But if you get caught in a traffic stop and are charged with multiple violations, you will likely be looking up traffic tickets lawyers online or in the phone book. Let's look at one scenario. You are pulled over by a police officer for running a stop sign in Vermont. The police officer says you were also going more than 10 miles over the posted speed limit. If you plead guilty in traffic court or just pay the fine, you will have two points added on your driver's license for the stop sign violation and three points for speeding. If you receive 10 points in a two year period, your license could be suspended or revoked. With five points, you are halfway there. You may want to consider an attorney to help you fight your traffic tickets in court.
