Traffic Violation Defense In Colorado – Your Experienced Legal Team
It is not “just” a speeding ticket, and it is far more than a hit-and-run or careless or reckless driving ticket – traffic tickets can mean hundreds and thousands of dollars in increased insurance costs. While a single traffic ticket can raise your insurance rates and make you a target for police, several traffic violations and habitual traffic offender (HTO) status, or an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI), or DWAI, in Colorado will change your life even more dramatically.
A major traffic violation conviction may result in driver’s license suspension or revocation, fines, mandatory classes and/or jail time. Considering these very real consequences for traffic violations, you should contact an experienced traffic defense attorney as soon as possible.
Denver Traffic Tickets
When you receive a traffic ticket in Denver, you will likely wonder how you should handle it. Typically, you can either pay the fine, which is an admission of guilt, or contest the ticket in court. Paying the fine might seem like the easiest option – and it may be prudent if you received a minor speeding ticket – but in many cases, it can have long-term consequences.
Contesting a traffic ticket can be worth it, especially for more serious traffic offenses. And if you believe you were wrongly ticketed, fighting your ticket could save you from fines, points on your license and increased insurance rates. Our attorneys can help you devise a strategy for fighting your ticket and represent you in court. We know the ins and outs of Denver traffic tickets and can provide you with the guidance you need.
One of the biggest concerns with Denver traffic tickets is how they affect your car insurance. While a minor ticket may not increase it by much if at all, most tickets lead to higher premiums. By contesting your ticket with the help of a lawyer, you may be able to avoid this outcome.

Under Colorado’s points system, an adult over 21 years old with 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months will lose his or her driver’s license for at least one year. For drivers under 21, automatic license suspension occurs with even fewer points. At any age, several minor traffic tickets that seem inconsequential can add up, marking a driver as a habitual traffic offender (HTO status) and resulting in a five-year license suspension.
