Traffic Crimes: How Do I Protect My Rights?

In Utah, most traffic crimes are simple infractions, such as a ticket for speeding or running a stop sign. They aren’t punishable by imprisonment, but they can get expensive (up to $750 in some cases). However, if you have been charged with a more severe traffic crime—driving with a revoked license, drunk driving, or hit and run you need an experienced lawyer who can help you protect your rights.

Experience You Can Trust Defending Your Traffic Cases

If you are arrested for a criminal traffic offense, remember it is your right to remain silent until you speak with an experienced lawyer.

No matter your charge, we are committed to helping you resolve your case. We also have experience handling other issues that may arise as a result of traffic offense. For example, if you are charged with an offense such as driving with any measurable controlled substance in the body, you may get a no alcohol conditional status on your license, which restricts you from driving a motor vehicle with any measurable BAC—even if it’s under the legal limit in Utah (.05). We know how to help you navigate and fight back against any traffic charges and penalties in Utah courts.
