Navajo County Criminal Traffic Offense Lawyer

Criminal Charges for Navajo County Traffic Violations

Many citations for moving violations are not simply civil traffic offenses, but carry the risk of criminal penalties if you are convicted. In addition to being required to pay a stiff fine, you can also be sentenced to jail or probation and end up with a criminal record which will follow you for years. You have a right to contest any type of violation, and we invite you to visit us at Williams Law Group at your earliest convenience to discuss the specific circumstances of your case and to learn more about how we can help. When you retain our services, you will be represented by a Navajo County criminal defense lawyer with experience as a prosecutor for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, who has successfully represented thousands of misdemeanor and felony cases. We know how to get results.

You may not have initially realized that you were being charged with a crime, as many criminal traffic offenses do not result in the suspect being handcuffed, seated in the back of the squad car and taken to jail. Instead, you may have been issued a citation in lieu of detention, which is a ticket with a summons to appear in court. The fact that you were not arrested does not lessen the severity of the consequences you face. If you fail to take action to defend the charge, you could be sentenced to jail or a probation which would subject you to serious restrictions for months or years to come. You are also at risk of losing your driver's license to suspension or revocation.

Criminal Traffic Offense Attorney in Navajo County

It is advisable to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after you have been arrested for a crime such as DUI, hit and run, reckless driving or racing. Paying the ticket amounts to an admission of guilt and you should not take any further action before learning more about your legal options. It may be possible to avoid conviction by proving that you are innocent or by moving to have the charges dismissed, as well as negotiating for a reduced charge and a lighter penalty.
