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.

We know how to help you navigate and fight back against any traffic charges and penalties in Utah courts.
